Experimental art-rock band Xiu Xiu has canceled their upcoming Fall 2019 tour in an announcement from their label Thursday, September 19th. According to the latest article on Pitchfork, the cancellation is due to the mental health and well being of the founding member of Xiu Xiu. “Jamie [Stewart] needs to take some time to focus on his mental health and get the proper rest he needs in order to do so,” statement that was made by Polyvinyl Records.
Xiu Xiu’s current touring roster consists of band members Jaime Stewart, Thor Harris and Christopher Pravdica. The band released their eleventh studio album, Girl with Basket of Fruit, this past February. Xiu Xiu did perform shows earlier this year in support of the release of the record. Xiu Xiu also made a formal statement regarding the cancellation of the tour stating, “XIU XIU is on temporary hiatus due to mental health issues…. The band shall return, down but not out.”
