Orville Peck has revealed that addiction and a suicide attempt were behind his decision to postpone his 2023 Bronco tour, telling Rolling Stone he reached a crisis point during what he described as one of the most difficult periods of his life. The South African-born country singer, born Daniel Pitout, said the experience inspired his fourth album, Mule, due for release on 18 September 2026.
The news comes after Peck halted his remaining 2023 live dates, telling fans at the time that his mental and physical health would not allow him to give audiences his best. He did not disclose the circumstances behind that decision, instead saying he needed time to 'replenish' his mind and body.
