Concert cancellation announced by Grimes due to personal family issues.
Grimes to Miss LGBTQIA+ Pride Event Due to Personal Issues
Pop artist Grimes has announced her withdrawal from an LGBTQIA+ pride event, the WorldPride Music Festival Global Dance Party, scheduled for June 6, 2025, in Washington, D.C., due to "family issues." The singer shared the news on Twitter on May 26, expressing regret for the inconvenience caused to fans and promising to make up for the cancellation.
The specifics of Grimes' family issues have not been divulged. However, recent reports suggest ongoing personal difficulties involving Elon Musk, the father of her three children, including a public plea she made earlier in the year regarding a medical crisis affecting one of their children. The connection between these matters and her cancellation of the Pride show remains unclear.
Upon hearing the news, event organizers and fellow performers showed support for Grimes' decision, emphasizing that the WorldPride lineup – featuring Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, RuPaul, and others – will still go on as planned. At present, no replacement artist for Grimes has been named.
There have been no announcements regarding the rescheduling of Grimes' canceled performance as of yet. Nevertheless, the singer has pledged to rectify the situation for her fans in the near future.
