LOS ANGELES—Singer Lauv announced Tuesday he would be dropping out of his upcoming tour with Khalid. He cited “mental health struggles” in a statement. Lauv stated he was “deeply struggling” and needed to focus on his well-being. Sources close to the artist, however, revealed the true reason for the tour cancellation. Lauv’s mental health struggles were reportedly linked to his phone’s battery life. The singer allegedly refused to leave his home without a full charge. He claimed he could not function at peak performance otherwise. This dependence on a charged device has plagued the artist for years. His inability to “be strong” was a direct result of his dwindling phone power.
Low Battery Anxiety
“I just can’t deal with the anxiety of a red battery icon anymore,” Lauv reportedly told his manager, Bartholomew “Bart” Higgins, Chief Executive Officer of Perpetual Power Inc. “It’s a constant reminder of my own mortality. My phone is my lifeblood. I can’t go on tour without a reliable power source.” Higgins confirmed the singer’s concerns. He stated, “Lauv’s battery levels were critically low for weeks. We offered him multiple portable chargers. He refused them all. He insisted on finding a charger that matched his aesthetic. This caused significant delays.” The singer’s team has been searching for a power bank that is both aesthetically pleasing and high-capacity.
Finding a Spark
The tour cancellation comes as a shock to many fans. Khalid has yet to comment on Lauv’s departure. The decision reflects a growing trend in the music industry. Artists are increasingly open about their mental health struggles. However, Lauv’s unique approach highlights a new frontier. The pressure to maintain an online presence requires constant connectivity. This can be a significant drain on both mental and, apparently, digital energy. Many hope Lauv finds the peace he seeks. Experts suggest he invest in a solar-powered charger. This could provide a long-term solution for his battery-related anxieties. For now, fans are left wondering if Lauv will ever truly “be strong” enough for the road.
At press time, Lauv was reportedly seen attempting to charge his phone using a potato. He was unable to find a potato that met his aesthetic requirements.
