On September 6, 2022, two days after the first concert in Latin America as part of the Rock in Rio festival, it was announced that all remaining dates of the tour would be postponed due to Bieber prioritizing his health. In a statement shared on social media, the singer said that "After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better."^[19] On September 15, 2022, an announcement posted on the official page for the tour clarified that only the dates until October 18 had been cancelled, with "all other shows remaining as scheduled unless otherwise advised".^[20][21] However, on October 6, it was announced that the concert in Rio de Janeiro was the final performance of the tour, with the period of mass postponement extended to all the following shows, which have yet to be rescheduled.^[22]
