Taking to Instagram on May 11, the country music singer shared that he needed to focus on himself right now. As such, he was canceling his upcoming dates.
"This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but I need to cancel my upcoming shows," Holder wrote.
He detailed why he was making such a drastic move.
"Over the past several months, I've been in a constant struggle with my mental health in ways that I can no longer ignore. I've tried for awhile now to put my head down and just push through this and give everything I have to the music and the people who support me, but truthfully I've reached my limit right now and I need to take a step back and focus on getting healthy," Holder wrote.

The country music star says he's been dealing with internal loneliness for a while now.
"I'm doing everything I've ever dreamed of and I still feel so lonely, still feel so unfulfilled," Holder wrote. "Performing for you guys is the greatest privilege of my life, and this decision was not made lightly. I know many of you made plans, spent money, and were looking forward to these nights together. And I'm deeply sorry for the disappointment this causes."
So he wants to be "taking this time to rest, seek support, and reconnect with myself away from the pressure and pace of touring."
However, the country music singer stressed that he will be back performing. He just needs time away right now.
"My hope is that this break will allow me to return stronger, healthier, and able to give you guys the performances you deserve," said Holder. He thanked fans for their "patience, compassion, and continued support. It means more than you'll ever know."
"I'm sorry ?," Holder also captioned the post.
We wish him well in his recovery and some much needed rest.
