PHILADELPHIA — Santigold planned to stop at the Franklin Music Hall in October for her Holified Tour. But the Philly-born artist, whose album "Spirituals" came out Sept. 9, has canceled the tour.
In a note on social media, Santi White shared her sadness in disappointing fans but detailed the reality of the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial toll of the past few years.
With little to no income as she waited to safely perform for crowds, White was met with inflation challenges — consumer prices are up 9.1%, according the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — increasing gas, tour bus, hotel and flight costs. On top of that, “many of our tried-and-true” venues were booked and positive COVID-19 tests halted schedules, White shared.
