Lil Xan Cancels Shows To Work On Mac Miller Tribute Album

Lil Xan is putting all of his energy into perfecting his Mac Miller tribute album. So much so, he recently canceled a bunch of shows because he felt "burnt out" after working so hard on it, TMZ reports. 

According to the gossip site, Xan axed five upcoming concerts to recharge after hours in the studio recording Be Safe. He's said to have been "working nonstop" on the project that he announced last month would be dedicated to his "hero" Mac, who was found dead on September 7 after suffering an apparent overdose. 

Xan will reportedly return on tour on November 6.

Last month, the 22-year-old rapper revealed the artwork for his Mac-inspired album. "'BE SAFE' FULL ARTWORK 💔 909 to the 412 ! This Album is for everyone and anyone you lost in life 💔," Xan captioned a photo of the album's artwork, which is a drawing of Mac holding an engraved tombstone. "AND ALSO BE SAFE IS FINALLY COMPLETED,I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE HAPPY AND FELT THIS GOOD ABOUT AN LP 💔 DEC 3RD." The album title also holds a special meaning to Xan, as "be safe" were the last words Mac told him before his untimely passing.

Xan has previously called Mac one of the biggest musical influences in his life. Days after his death, the "Xanarchy" rapper spoke about what the Swimming rapper meant to him.

"When your hero dies, f**k that sh*t, I don't want to make music no more," Xan said after saying he plans to retire once his contract is up. Xan additionally discussed his last words with Mac, which were made at one of the late rapper's last shows. "Before I left, he was like 'Be safe,'" Xan recalled. "People say that you know, like 'be safe.' But he grabbed me, and he pulled me back and he was like 'No I mean BE SAFE.' That almost made me cry, that's my idol right there." He added, "I keep thinking about that, how it resonated in my head, how those were his last words."
