You may have seen this one coming…
Summer Walker took to social media today to announce that she will not, be continuing the rest of her tour. Since dropping her album debut album Over It last month, Summer’s rise to fame was quite literally, over night. The R&B singer has previously stated that she doesn’t see herself continuing on with her music career, stating that she deals with social anxiety and that fame is just not for her.
Today fans learned she wasn’t joking when she posted and deleted this video to her Instagram account,

The video is now deleted, and so far fans attending her San Francisco show tonight say they have yet to receive any emails from Ticketmaster confirming the news, so for now they’re planning on attending as scheduled. Summer hasn’t posted anything since she uploaded the video around 12pm PST. So for now, it’s just a waiting game.
