AN American rock band has canceled their remaining tour dates, with the frontman making a confession about the ‘hardest decision’ he had to make.
Earlier this month, The Dangerous Summer, which was formed in 2006, revealed their summer tour would expand into the fall – but this is not the case anymore.

Fans are gutted after learning that the band has unexpectedly canceled all of their remaining tour dates for the year.
Their frontman AJ Perdomo penned a touching statement about needing to step away from music for a while.
He penned, “There is no easy way to say this, but I am burning out from being on the road so often.
“It is the hardest decision in the world to make, but I have decided to cancel the remaining tour dates for the rest of the year.”
He added, “I need to go home and be a father, a fiancé, and a creative. I need to work on my life at home for a moment.
“I have the dreamer’s disease. Next year will be 20 years since this band has started.
“It has become such a large part of my existence, and how I value myself as an individual. I have been overworking to fill a hole in my heart that no amount of shows or success will be able to fill.”
Opening up further, AJ continued, “When I am standing up on stage singing a song like ‘What’s an hour really worth?’ I start to think about the life that is passing me by while I am away from home.
“It broke my heart to tell my band, my manager, and my team of agents—but they have been extremely supportive of my decision to take some time away from touring.”
Reassuring the band’s fans, AJ urged that this was not the end.
“This isn’t the end, and in fact, making new music is one of the driving factors in this decision,” he explained.
“Creating music is where my heart truly lies, and I need to get back to it.
“Please continue supporting live music, and the bands/venues that we had intended on hitting this fall/winter.
“Music and art need your support more than ever.”
Fans were quick to react to the sad news of the tour being canceled, but were understanding of AJ’s reasoning for doing so.
One fan replied to his post on X saying, “’ll speak for every fan and say take all the time you need! Cherish those moments with your fam and we’ll see you again later.”
A second added, “That sucks but totally understand AJ. Do what you need to do and see ya back on stage at some point.”
While a third wrote, “Much love and respect, AJ. Enjoy the time with your family.”
The Dangerous Summer had a “messy breakup” before reuniting.
They were initially together from 2006 until 2014 when they disbanded.
They then reunited in 2017.
When the band was not together, AJ had settled into a more lowkey lifestyle.
He had gotten into the groove of raising his daughter with his wife in L.A, as per a report three years ago.
“I loved the life I created,” AJ told Metro Times in 2022, adding, “I kind of loved having a nine-to-five. You know, the grass is greener.”
