Black Pumas have cancelled all their other upcoming shows as well, announcing that they're stepping back from touring for the year. "After four incredible years of career milestones and unforgettable live experiences around the world, we have made the difficult decision to press pause and step away from touring for the rest of the year," the band said in a statement. "We have the best fans in the world and appreciate each and every one of you for your support and understanding. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to know you better."
