Disclosure’s Howard Lawrence drops out of Australian tour to “take some time to look after myself”

Disclosure‘s Howard Lawrence has pulled out of the duo’s forthcoming Australian tour, saying that he “need[s] to take some time to look after myself”.

The electronic group – completed by Howard’s brother Guy – are due to head down under this year following appearances at All Points East, Electric Picnic, Boardmasters and other festivals over the summer.

In a statement posted on social media this morning (September 15), however, Howard told fans that he’d been “really struggling with being back on the road touring again” and therefore “won’t be joining Guy on our Australian tour”.

Howard continued: “Guy and I have been touring almost constantly for well over a decade now, and although I’ve had some of the best times of my life (for which I’ll be forever grateful), I’ve also always struggled with the intensity, jet lag, lack of routine and being away from my friends.

“This year I’ve done my absolute best to push through for you all, and have managed to play many, many shows, but sadly I’ve now hit a breaking point and really need to take some time to look after myself.”

He added: “Guy (absolute soldier) will still be coming with the rest of our amazing team to deliver bangers to all you lovely ravers down under.”
