Shortly after the announcement, the scheduled tour dates disappeared from Ticketmaster, confirming that the shows would no longer take place.
Molly Santana also addressed the cancellation on social media, apologizing to fans who had already purchased tickets or made travel plans.
She thanked supporters for their patience and acknowledged the time and money many had invested to attend the concerts.
“I sincerely apologize,” Santana wrote. “Nothing makes me happier than sharing memories with you all, and I promise I’ll make this one up to you.”
The canceled tour follows several successful performances the pair shared earlier this year. North joined Santana onstage at Rolling Loud in May before performing again together during Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in June.
