Drag Superstar Sasha Colby Postpones Tour Dates for Self-Care

In a recent announcement, Sasha Colby, the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15, has made the difficult decision to postpone the remaining nine shows of her Stripped II Tour of North America. Colby, who was scheduled to perform in Boston, explained that the tour has been "a dream come true" and "a labor of love," but the relentless schedule of 21 shows in just five weeks has taken a significant toll on her both physically and emotionally.

Colby, a trans woman of color, expressed that she has been pushing herself tirelessly, feeling the need to prove that she belongs in the industry. However, the truth is that she is now "exhausted" and her "mind and heart are tired in ways [she] can't ignore anymore." Acknowledging that this decision was "incredibly difficult," Colby emphasized that it comes from a place of necessity, not desire, as she needs to prioritize her mental health and well-being.

Despite the disappointment, Colby assured her fans that she will be back to make it up to them. She expressed gratitude for the "endless love" and "compassion" she has received, and she looks forward to returning "stronger, more grounded, and ready to give you the best version of me."
