I will never take any of this for granted and I will see you all soon. I love you all."‌His management added: "Reluctantly we have made the decision as a team to pull YUNGBLUD from The Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary this Sunday.

I have been trying my best to wake up every day.‌“I have felt in pain a lot and I don’t know why for a long time. But every time I find your faces, every time I find your eyes, every time I look at you, I know that I belong somewhere.“And to feel safe from the outside world is something that I can never thank you enough for. And all I wanna say is that this is for your family. If you are ever scared, if you are ever frightened, if you are ever threatened, we will be there. I will f***ing be there for you.”The star has often been open about his struggles. In March, he opened up to the Mirror about his well-documented issues with life in the spotlight as a young artist.
