Ryan Adams Cancels European Tour, Says He's 'Broke and Sick'

Ryan Adams, the controversial rock singer, has canceled his upcoming European tour, citing being 'broke and sick and tired and defeated' in a social media post. The tour was set to begin in late 2026, but Adams announced he would not be able to proceed, according to multiple sources including AL.com and The Daily Beast.

The cancellation comes years after a 2019 New York Times investigation detailed allegations of sexual misconduct and emotional abuse by Adams, involving multiple women, including his ex-wife Mandy Moore. These allegations led to a sharp decline in his career, with record deals dropped and tours canceled. Adams has denied many of the claims but acknowledged some relationships were 'complicated.'

Adams' financial and health issues have been a recurring theme in recent years. In 2020, he sold his publishing catalog to cover debts. The current announcement suggests his situation has worsened, though no specific details about his health or finances were provided. The tour cancellation is the latest in a series of setbacks for the artist, who had attempted a comeback with a 2022 album and a 2023 US tour.

The news has reignited discussion about accountability in the music industry and the long-term consequences of misconduct allegations. While some fans express sympathy, others see the cancellation as a consequence of Adams' past actions. It remains unclear if Adams will attempt further musical projects or if this marks the end of his public career.
