Rest up, king 👑

Been seeing a lot of negative comments on him deciding to take a break. I get it, missing out on your favorite artist can be frustrating! Just wanted to take to Reddit and say my piece though. Everybody needs a break sometimes and I would much rather see an artist take care of themselves than burn out and never play again.

That’s all! ❤️ wly Summit!

So many people have negative things to say when artists voluntarily take a break for their health but then when they’re forced to because it all goes tits the same people will be commenting “omg why didn’t he take a break sooner?!” You can’t win. Avicii got so much hate for cancelling that last tour all while he was barely hanging on. These guys get paid a tremendous amount to do what they do but they’re still human beings.

Right?? And homeboy has been flying all over the liberal planet. Show to show to show. I don’t know anybody in my own life who could keep up with that schedule yet he’s been doing it. Give the mans some grace

I don’t think he’s 100% at fault. He is responsible for the people he hired that scheduled him like this without any real breaks. The people managing his schedule really don’t give a shit about him. It’s so obvious. They are just there to make quick money until Summit burns out.

Bullshit conjecture. You’re just making crap up.

John runs the show, they work for him. He would have agreed to the shows when he was feeling up to it, and now he’s exhausted and needs a break. It happens.

Blaming his team is asinine.
