Rachel Chinouriri cancels US tour with Remi Wolf: ‘The financial strain on touring has become too much‘
“This is the tough reality of the music industry,” the singer told fans.
Rachel Chinouriri has cancelled her forthcoming tour of the US in support of Remi Wolf, citing “the financial strain on touring”.
The singer and our Future of Music cover star was set to support Wolf on the October leg of her United States tour, but has told fans that fulfilling the gigs has become financially unviable.
She wrote on social media: “I’m deeply saddened to announce that I have to withdraw from the Remi Wolf tour and several festivals. This year I’ve invested all my savings and earnings into my shows, styling, and band to be able to tour.
“While my debut album has opened many amazing opportunities, the financial strain on touring has become too much.”
Chinouriri added: “Despite my best efforts to secure funding for this incredible opportunity, it hasn’t been possible. This is the tough reality of the music industry, whether you’re signed or independent.
“I’ve explored every possible option to make this work because I adore Remi and her fanbase, and I was so excited to come to the States. However, I cannot justify the financial risk it would entail.”
Chinouriri will play a UK tour in November as planned.
