Tyler, the Creator is pulling out of two major summer music festivals.
On Thursday, the "Earfquake" singer and rapper announced he's pulling out of his headlining sets at Lollapalooza in Chicago and Outside Lands in San Francisco.
"i hate saying this but i have to cancel lollapalooza and outside lands. i made a commitment that i can no longer keep, and that bums me out knowing how excited folks were," he wrote on social media. "that is not sexy at all. please please forgive me or call me names when you see me in person. love."

Lollapalooza will take place in Grant Park from Aug. 1 to Aug. 4 followed by Outside Lands from Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 at Golden Gate Park.
