Julien Baker cancels tour with Torres citing health reasons; fans suspect a concussion: 'You can always tour again'
Julien Baker cancels tour: Julien Baker and TORRES have officially called off their 2025 Send a Prayer My Way tour. The duo shared the news in a statement posted Sunday morning, citing health concerns as the reason behind the difficult decision. The duo was scheduled to play Houston on Monday and Dallas on Tuesday.
Julien Baker announce the cancellation of her tour with Torres
'Due to recent events, Julien Baker is prioritising her well-being and taking time to focus on her health,' the statement read. 'This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause for fans. We deeply appreciate your understanding.'
Fans suspect Julien suffered a concussion in March
While the exact nature of the health issue hasn't been disclosed, fans are speculating it may be related to a March incident in which a 'key member' of the touring team suffered a concussion. At that time, just three shows were cancelled. But as of now, all remaining 2025 headlining dates have been called off.
Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment but have largely responded with messages of support and concern for Baker's health. Many are hopeful the tour could be rescheduled once she's ready.
Responding to the post announcing the cancellation of their tours shared on the Reddit subreddit r/indieheads by a fan, one Reddit user wrote, "Oh damn. Hope everything turns out okay." Another added, "Aw man. I hope everyone is okay. We were seeing them with Rilo Kiley at Red Rocks. I wonder who'll open now."
A third fan added, "Damn, this reads as very serious. I hope she's ok and takes care of herself—you can always tour again, but you can't undo harm to your health," while a fourth commented, "If it's the concussion others are mentioning, this is probably for the best. Concussions are tricky, and you don't want to rush back from them. Loud music can make recovery extremely difficult or exacerbate."
The cancelled tour was meant to promote Baker and TORRES' recently released collaborative country album, Send a Prayer My Way, which dropped on April 18. The project, which has been praised for its raw lyricism and unexpected sonic pairing, features standout tracks like Sugar in the Tank and Sylvia.
As of now, no rescheduled dates have been announced.

The bizarre truth about how astronauts deal with dirty clothes on the International Space Station will blow your mind
Dirty Laundry Doesn't Get Washed—It Gets Launched No Sweat? No Problem Reddit Reacts: Shock, Humor, and Horror A New Dawn in Space Laundry? You Might Also Like: NASA says this 10-minute workout beats 30 minutes of jogging and is easier on your joints When you imagine life aboard the International Space Station, you probably picture zero-gravity acrobatics, awe-inspiring views of Earth, and high-tech gear floating through futuristic modules. What you might not picture, however, is the simple, yet startling question: how do astronauts do their laundry? The answer is as bizarre as space travel itself—and it's turning heads to what Earthlings might expect, astronauts don't have access to washing machines or even manual laundry buckets. There's no rinse cycle in orbit. In fact, worn clothes aboard the ISS are never washed at all. Once garments become too filthy to endure, astronauts do what only astronauts can—they throw them out. Quite clothing is packed into cargo spacecrafts which are eventually directed to burn up during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. That's right—astronaut underwear and sweat-stained polos become shooting stars in the sky. It's an unconventional solution, but given the precious water supply and the impracticality of hauling detergent into orbit, it's the only viable option—at least for conditions aboard the ISS help mitigate the grime. The station is temperature-controlled, limiting how much astronauts actually sweat. It's a sterile, sealed environment—no dirt, rain, or backyard chores to ruin an outfit. That said, astronauts still have to make every item count. Typically, each crew member brings just one polo shirt for every 15 days and one pair of underwear for every stretch cleanliness further, NASA partners with apparel companies to develop space-grade garments. These aren't your everyday clothes—they're antibacterial, absorbent, quick-drying, and odor-resistant. In one case, Japanese brand BEAMS designed specially engineered garments for astronaut Soichi Noguchi's extended mission in 2020. These outfits are built to fight odor and bacteria, helping astronauts avoid infections and stay as fresh as possible without a single Redditors caught wind of the ISS laundry routine, reactions ranged from fascination to disbelief. Some questioned the hygiene implications, while others simply shuddered at the lifestyle. 'I was wondering how they didn't get UTIs and boils,' one user commented, relieved to learn about the antibacterial clothing requirement. Another added humorously, 'When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut so badly. Now? Not so much.'Some were more curious: 'How many outfits do they bring?' one person asked. 'Can you identify an astronaut who's been up there too long by whether or not they're naked?'As absurd as burning clothes may sound, NASA and Tide are working on a cleaner, more sustainable solution. In 2022, the detergent giant joined forces with the space agency to develop a fully degradable laundry detergent—formulated specifically for space. Their goal? To make laundry in microgravity a real possibility, even with minimal water use. If successful, future astronauts could enjoy the luxury of clean clothes without having to incinerate them in Earth's the next time you toss your laundry into the washer, be grateful. Up in space, even that humble chore requires rocket science.
