Yungblud won't be performing at Cowboys Music Festival this Sunday, July 12, after pulling out citing personal reasons.

The English musician's management announced Wednesday that the rising rockstar is stepping back to focus on his health at home in the UK. "I'm currently in a place where I'm working on myself and taking time off at home," Yungblud said in a statement. "I'm taking this extremely seriously and facing head on what's going on for the good of the long term."

This was set to be his first-ever Calgary stop after being announced back in April. His withdrawal marks a significant change to the festival's lineup at the last minute.

Cowboys Music Festival is replacing him with Nelly and Steve Aoki on the final Sunday show. Ticket holders have three options: keep their tickets valid for both acts (automatically updated in Tixr accounts by Friday, July 10 at 5 p.m. MST), exchange for Tixr credits toward another show (deadline Friday, July 10 at 12 p.m. MST), or request a full refund (same Friday deadline).
