“It wasn’t a decision made overnight,” a source told Variety of the singer’s decision. “He’s had some time off and was able to consider his commitments.”
The 23-year-old began the Purpose tour in March 2016. He was recently banned from performing in China due to a series of “bad behaviors,” the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture wrote on its website via The New York Times.
