Jelly Roll Says Australia Tour Left Him ‘Falling Apart,’ Citing Illness and Isolation

The country star links a sharp mental-health slide to lonely travel and a stomach illness during his first run of Australian shows.

Overview

  • He told the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast he was “doing the worst mentally” in a long time and wanted to go home.
  • He said the Australia itinerary lacked tour buses, leaving him alone in hotel rooms for long stretches and amplifying anxiety.
  • He reported a stomach illness that he said clouded his thinking and contributed to canceling the Nov. 8 Auckland show.
  • In an Instagram apology to Auckland fans, he wrote he had “done everything” he could but “just can’t shake it,” calling the cancellation rare.
  • The Australia dates marked his first concerts there, and he remains scheduled to perform next in Mexico City on Nov. 15 with no further medical update.
