Hardy doesn't reveal his reason for the sudden cancellation.
"I have decided to cancel the European leg of the JIM BOB TOUR," Hardy writes. "It wasn't an easy decision, but one I had to make for my band, crew and my family. Please know that I love you all and I will be back as soon as I can."
Hardy goes on to reveal how fans can get their money back.
"Refunds will automatically be issued by your point of purchase," he adds.

Fans will likely speculate about the reason for the sudden cancellation. But one reason might be his growing family. In March, Hardy and his wife, Caleigh, announced the arrival of their first child, daughter Rosie Ryan Hardy.
Ahead of her arrival, Hardy told Wide Open Country how he planned to balance being a dad and an artist.
"Just plan and prepare," Hardy said. "I know it's gonna be different. I give all the praise to my wife, she's a very strong person and a very good planner."
Hardy adds that taking care of his mental health was important to him, revealing he didn't want to become a "shell of a human, which [he has] felt like before."
"I think maintaining that lifestyle will help a lot with being a dad," he added.
Fortunately, he and his wife are very like-minded when it comes to parenting.
"I feel like I have a good head on my shoulders," Hardy said. We'll see, but I feel really good as of right now."
Hardy might not be heading overseas, but he still has concert dates on the calendar. Currently, his next scheduled show is on July 18 at Country Thunder Wisconsin.
