Belgian star Stromae announced Tuesday on his social networks that he needs "rest" and completely stop his European tour. The 38-year-old artist had already had to observe a long break in the past because of burnout.

Drained by an XXL world tour in the wake of the album Racine carrée (2013), StromAE had first thrown in the towel at the end of 2015, undermined by depression aggravated by the side effects of an antimalarial.
