The superstar shared the news with fans on Tuesday (April 7), revealing that his Born Here Live Here Die Here album, which was originally scheduled to release on April 24, will now be available on August 7. Additionally, his highly anticipated Proud To Be Right Here Tour will launch on July 10, rather than in May as originally planned.

“What an incredibly confusing and scary time our world is facing right now, and it is important we continued to follow the guidelines we have been given and do our part to keep everyone safe,” the superstar wrote across his social media channels. “With that in mind, we are choosing to stay home and this time so we can have fun sharing this music and your with you this summer.”

“I truly believe that music can provide all forms of emotional connections for everyone and I can’t wait to get on the road and share these new songs with you soon,” he added. “Love y’all.”
