Neil Young has disclosed more information about why his summer tour with Crazy Horse was canceled earlier this year due to an undisclosed illness that impacted multiple members of the group. The music legend opened up about the cancellation when he took part in a Zoom Q&A for the subscribers to the Neil Young Archives. “A couple of us really hit a wall,” Young revealed. “I just woke up one morning on the bus and I said, ‘I can’t do this, I gotta stop.’ I felt sick when I thought of going onstage. My body was telling me, ‘You gotta stop.’ And so I listened to my body. “Then it gets into all the legal matters: ‘You got this, you got that, people bought tickets, they did this, they did that.’ I understand that. What matters to me is the art of playing, and the music. That’s what matters. That’s what people loved. That’s what they come to see. But if that’s not there, my going isn’t happening. My body told me to not do it. Crazy Horse will be back, God willing.” (Consequence of Sound)
