Kid Cudi would not be able to join RHCP as well due to the injury

After the same incident at the Coachella and the consequence, Kid Cudi will also not be able to join the rock band Red Hot Chilli Peppers on the tour. They took to X, and explained the entire situation. According to the tweet,

"Due to his injury at Coachella this weekend, Kid Cudi is postponing his entire tour. Unfortunately that includes the two dates he was doing with RHCP."

Shortly after the accident at Coachella, Kid Cudi took to social media and said—

"This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off stage like he’s 26, like he used to do back in the day."

He added that he had then learned to not jump off stages anymore. This was before the cancelation message, and until then Cudi still thought that he might not have to cancel the tour. He further stated that he had a temporary cast on back then and that the injured area was a little sore.

His Insano: Engage The Rage tour was about to start from Texas on June 28, 2024. Fans now have to wait until the rapper gets better and his injury heals sooner. The UK and European legs were expected to happen next year, as reported by BBC.
