Jon Batiste has canceled three upcoming shows this week, citing personal reasons. The 39-year-old singer, who has won 8 Grammys out of 25 nominations, was scheduled to perform Thursday at New Haven’s Westville Music Bowl, Friday at Philadelphia’s TD Pavilion and Saturday at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium. The venues said ticket holders will receive refunds through their original points of purchase. “As I navigate some personal circumstances, I unfortunately need to cancel a portion of my upcoming performance dates…” Batiste said in a statement shared by the venues. He added that he and his team are developing “new ways and opportunities to share live music” as he releases his albums Monk Meditations and Monk Movements. Batiste did not provide further details about the cancellations. His performances in Ohio, Virginia and Georgia next week remain listed on his website. The cancellations come as Batiste tours nationally. Batiste was the bandleader and musical director of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from 2015 until 2022.
