Clairo apologized to her Canadian fans on Wednesday night (Oct. 23) after informing them that she has been advised to push back three planned shows in Toronto due to exhaustion. “Hi everyone, I’m really sorry to inform you that I will be postponing the next 3 Toronto shows,” she wrote on X about the gigs that were slated to take place at Toronto’s Massey Hall on Oct. 23, 24 and 25.

“I know this is disappointing to everyone who bought tickets to see me play but I’m struggling with extreme exhaustion and have been advised to go home until our Boston shows,” she added of the first of three shows slated to take place on Oct. 28 at Roadrunner.

“I want you to experience the best show possible, and I’m not in a place to do that right now,” she said. “I will share updates as I have them regarding refunds, a rescheduled show date that will honor your current tickets, etc. please hold on to your tickets! I appreciate your understanding. I will make it up to you!”

Clairo released her third album, Charm, in July, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart, fueled by the singles “Sexy to Someone” and “Nomad.” She kicked off her Charm tour on Sept. 6 with a five-night stand at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, followed by multiple nights in New York and gigs in Dallas, Houston, San Diego, Portland, Denver, Chicago and Columbus, OH; her final date before the just-announced break was at the Anthem in Washington, D.C. on Monday (Oct. 21).

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

The man behind one of Canada's most successful indie labels talks about the late-blooming success of French-language streaming record-holder Patrick Watson, why he builds long-term relationships with artists, and why it's important for the indie sector to work together.

Justin West is a leader and advocate in Canada’s independent music scene, but he didn’t plan it out that way. When he started his record label Secret City Records in Montreal in the mid-2000s, it was out of necessity. He had met an artist he loved and wanted to build a career with, and the label was a means to do it. That artist was Patrick Watson, and 20 years later he — and Secret City — are more successful than ever.

West — a multiple time Billboard Canada Power Player – leads one of the biggest indie labels in Canada while also advocating for the sector on multiple boards both locally and internationally. When we speak to him for this Executive of the Week interview, he’s just returned from Banff for the National Summit on Artificial Intelligence and Culture, and is a central figure in discussions around the Online Streaming Act and collective negotiations with online streaming platforms.
