Fever 333 have canceled their Fall 2024 US and overseas tour dates due to singer Jason Aalon Butler’s ongoing battle with depression.

Butler opened up about his battle with depression in an Instagram video [as transcribed by Lambgoat ]:

“Hey everybody, it’s your friend Jason Aalon. I come to you admittedly a bit uncomfortable and afraid, but grateful for the opportunity to be honest. Recently I’ve been faced with my most significant and challenging struggle with depression. And in a rather unusual turn of events, I became deeply depressed at a time where one would expect to be excitedly anticipating the release of a new album and a tour to support it.

And while I’m no stranger to these feelings, this time was different. And the mental period of anguish eventually devolved into physical ailments, and that affected not only me, but my family, my friends, and everyone around me, and that caused a pretty obvious turning point. And I realized, you know, I need to, I need to delve into the root cause of my sadness. I probably have needed to do this for, no… I have needed to do this for quite some time. So in light of this, you know, I have to announce that I’ll be canceling the Fever tour. And while my instinct is to apologize, I do want to acknowledge, you know, this decision, and my belief in the decision…”

Zulu also posted the news on Instagram and offered words of support for Butler:

“We want to send all our love to Jason and wish him a well journey to healing and clarity

Trying to navigate touring while also going through depression is one of the hardest things to do. So much respect for being vulnerable and open with us and everyone about this. I know exactly how hard it can be to say admit these things, and we’re rooting for you over here absolutely!”
