“Yo Asia what’s going on? It’s YUNGBLUD. How are you,” YUNGBLUD begins.” “A bit of bad news. I’m going to have to cancel this Asia tour because we’ve been advised about the travel risks in terms of the coronavirus. At first I was going to say, ‘Fuck it’ and come, but we have been advised again to seriously not.”

“I just wanted to send a message just to say I’m really thinking about you all a lot and I want to send all my love and I hope everyone is safe, and I hope everyone is trying to be as positive as they can. I love you so much. I’ll be back so soon. I promise, I swear to god. I’m going to get out there as soon as I can. I’ll see you soon, I love you, look after each other, stay safe.”
