The Belgian star Stromae announced on Tuesday on social networks that he needed "rest" and completely stop his tour, already partially stopped and which was to last until December 2023. "Stromae's state of health does not allow him to ensure his performance," says just his tour producer, Auguri. The 38-year-old artist had already had to observe a long break in the past because of burnout.
"Unfortunately, I have to accept today that this time of rest and remission will be longer than I imagined. It is therefore with great regret that I will not be able to honor my promise and that I announce the end of the Multitude Tour today, "wrote the artist on his Twitter account without giving further explanation. Before bidding: "This decision is difficult but necessary to be able to get better."

Currently on a European tour to promote his album Multitude, released a year ago, Stromae had already canceled all his concerts until the end of May for health reasons. Drained by an XXL world tour in the wake of the Tudesque album Racine carrée (2013), Stromae had first thrown in the towel at the end of 2015, undermined by depression aggravated by the side effects of an antimalarial. One of the most listened to francophone artists in the world was finally back on stage in 2022, to present Multitude. A record that allowed him to win a 6th and 7th Victoires de la musique (awarded in France) in his career.
Born in the suburbs of Brussels, to a Flemish mother and a Rwandan father, who left home very early and was killed during the genocide, he discovered teen rap. He made his debut there, then composed for mainstream artists, such as Anggun, before turning to the eurodance of the 90s, of which Belgium is one of the melting pots. In 2010, his first album under the name Stromae contains the hit So we dance, evocation of people who dance to forget the crisis, their despair and death. The song looped in nightclubs, became the hit of the summer and was even remixed by Kanye West.
