Bad news, Tobias Jesso Jr. fans 🙁
The Canadian singer-songwriter has pulled out of his scheduled performance at St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival in Singapore next year.
Tobias started his career in music as a bassist for the band called The Sessions and eventually for former teen pop singer Melissa Cavatti. Titled “Goon”, his debut album was released in 2015. He is also known for co-writing Adele‘s “When We Were Young“.
The Canadian musician announced that he had to cancel his appearance at the Laneway Festival 2016 in Singapore due to “conflicting commitments with his songwriting and recording obligations”.
In a press statement, he said:
I’m sorry to let everyone down, and appreciate all of your love, support, and understanding.
