Ryan Adams Bids Farewell to Australia Following Controversial Tour
## Ryan Adams’ Tour Conclusion in Australia and New Zealand
Ryan Adams has wrapped up his tour in Australia and New Zealand with a rather unpredictable flair, expressing on social media, “I might not see you again.” His final statements have raised eyebrows among fans.
### A Rocky Start
The tour experienced turbulence early on. During a show at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on October 12, Adams unexpectedly left the stage, triggering criticism from some audience members.
### Concerns from Fans
In New Zealand, things didn’t improve significantly for the artist. Fans voiced their unease regarding his erratic performances, describing them as “weird.” One attendee shared their concerns online, stating, “The music was fantastic, but his drunken rants indicated he’s unwell and could use help. I’ve never witnessed such behavior from a performer and hope someone looks out for him tonight.”
Crew members reportedly shared similar sentiments about his conduct during the shows.
## A Noteworthy Instagram Post
On the day of his final performance in Auckland at the Bruce Mason Centre, Adams shared his set list on Instagram. However, it was his heartfelt caption that caught the most attention. He wrote, “My very last show overseas. What a dream. God bless you #auckland… I might not see you again but I’ll keep making these records and books because I love it…. And I love you.”
### Reflecting on Health Issues
In an earlier Instagram post, Adams made a somewhat disparaging comment about Australia, saying, “Thanks AUS. See you never.” He also mentioned health issues impacting his performances. “The LED camera flash from phones in a pitch-black environment can lead to an ocular seizure,” he explained, expressing how this condition affected his ability to perform.
### Celebrating 25 Years of Heartbreaker
Adams was on this tour to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his debut album, *Heartbreaker*.
### Taking Responsibility
Following the backlash regarding his Melbourne performance, Adams addressed the criticisms the next day. He expressed his embarrassment and disappointment, recounting how the flashing from smartphones can disorient him while on stage.
He stated, “I love you all and I’m so sorry. You did nothing wrong. It’s natural to want to capture moments, but I’ve struggled with this my entire life.”
