Those hoping for a joyful Detty December with Rema will have to wait until next year while he recovers.
“Breaks my heart to say that I won’t be performing anywhere this December. (It’s) been years of touring (and) I’ve ignored my health. I need time to recuperate. 2024, we go again,” he posted on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.
Rema recently revealed the title and inspiration behind the concept used at his O2 Arena concert. He noted that the headliner of his show was “Ravage Uprising.”
