Have you ever been looking forward to a concert, hoping your favorite band will play that one song you absolutely love, but the whole thing gets canceled because the singer was sick of their own work? If you answered yes, you must be an Iggy Azaela fan.

The singer was set to embark on a U.S. tour in 2015, but shortly before her first performance was scheduled, she canceled the entire thing. Her reason? She was sick of performing her own music.

To be fair, she was tired of singing the same old songs, and she was also physically exhausted after working nonstop for two years.

Azalea took to social media to apologize to her fans, and explain her rationale for canceling the tour:

"I feel like I'm at the end of an era now. To go on a tour in late September and to stay in that mindset of what I'd envisioned for that tour, I feel like that would stifle me... It's not easy to decide that the best thing to do is cancel a tour, but that's the best thing for me. I don't want to disappoint my fans. I feel really bad. It was a tough decision to make, but it was the best thing."
