Kid Cudi has made the difficult decision to cancel his upcoming Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour due to discovering that his broken ankle is more severe than initially thought.
In a social media post, he revealed, “Guys, so, I have a broken calcaneus. I’m headed to surgery now and there’s gonna be a long recovery time. We have to cancel the tour so I can focus on getting better to be out there in top shape to rage with you all.”
The calcaneus, also known as the heel bone, requires extensive recovery compared to typical ankle fractures. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, this type of injury often results from high-energy incidents where the heel is crushed under the body’s weight, necessitating surgery to prevent deformity.
Kid Cudi humorously reflected on the cause of his injury, referencing jumping off one of the tallest stages at Coachella: “There’s just no way I can bounce back in time to give 100%. The injury is much more serious than I thought.”
The U.S. leg of Kid Cudi’s tour was slated to begin on June 28 in Austin, Texas, and conclude on August 30 in Los Angeles. Plans for a European tour in early 2025 remain uncertain.
Ticket holders will receive full refunds and can expect new tour dates to be announced in the future. Despite the setback, Kid Cudi assured his fans, “I’m so sorry fam and I love you all so much, thanks for the endless love and support. Im really disappointed as im sure you guys are too, but I will be back. Thats a promise. Im ok, just a lil soreness, but im in good spirits.”
