Earl Sweatshirt cancels European tour dates after contracting pneumonia

Odd Future member, Earl Sweatshirt has been forced to cancel a series of live dates after suffering from pneumonia.

A press release from the rapper’s publicist originally read:

“Due to illness, Earl Sweatshirt has been forced to cancel all foreseeable tour dates until he is healthy.”

Now, however, it’s been confirmed that only Earl’s forthcoming European tour dates have fallen victim, not North American ones also.

This follows a series of tweets from the hip-hop upstart which explained that he had contracted the inflammatory lung condition.

THE WORST PART OF PNEUMONIA IS THAT IT WONT FUCKING GO AWAY ITS LIKE DUBSTEP
