Petit Biscuit, a popular French DJ known for his melodic and atmospheric electronic music, has canceled his upcoming tour in Australia and Indonesia to focus on his mental health. The decision was announced on Wednesday, September 16, through his Instagram account. The DJ, whose real name is Mehdi Benjelloun, shared that he has been struggling with worsening panic attacks over the past several years. While he had kept these challenges private for a long time, he felt it was necessary to be open with his fans and collaborators. The tour was set to include performances in major cities such as Brisbane, Melbourne, Camperdown, and Perth. Petit Biscuit expressed that he was excited about returning to Australia but currently finds it difficult to manage the demands of long-distance touring. He extended his apologies to ticket holders, fans, and the local teams organizing the events, acknowledging the disappointment his decision may cause. In addition to the canceled tour, Petit Biscuit is still scheduled to perform in the United States on October 17 and in Switzerland, though no updates have been provided about these upcoming events. Other musicians, including Stromae and Lewis Capaldi, have also spoken publicly about their mental health struggles and have taken breaks from touring to prioritize their well-being. Philip Selway, the drummer of the British band Radiohead, recently wrote an opinion piece in The Guardian about the mental health challenges faced by touring artists. He highlighted how the lifestyle can lead to isolation and severe anxiety and has supported a proposal to fund psychologists to accompany artists on tour. This growing conversation reflects a broader awareness of the pressures faced by musicians in the industry.
