Pete Davidson canceled his comedy show two hours before the show due to his mental health issues.
New York's Beacon Theater took to its Instagram Story on Friday to inform fans of the last-minute cancellation due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
The comedian has also rescheduled his show at the venue for December 23rd.
Meanwhile, Ticket Master's website showed that Davidson's shows at the start of the new year were also canceled until January 6th.
If all goes according to plan, he will take the stage at the Premier Theater in Mashantucket, CT.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum’s representatives were not immediately available for comment to Page Six.

The “King of Staten Island” actor, who first toured in September, made headlines last month when he shouted “fk you” at an audience member for violating his phone ban during his stand-up routine.
The heated moment lasted seconds as fans realized the comedian had struggled with his mental health over the past year.
Page Six exclusively reported in June that he had checked himself into a rehab facility in Pennsylvania for his issues with borderline personality disorder and PTSD.
According to the website, he is expected to return to the stage on January 6th. YouTube SNL
“Pete goes to rehab regularly to exercise and take a mental break, and that’s exactly what’s happening,” a source told US.
Just weeks earlier, Davidson attacked the head of PETA after the animal rights group criticized him for buying a puppy from a pet store.
A foul-mouthed voicemail obtained by Page Six revealed that the comedian told Daphna Nachminovitch, senior vice president of cruelty investigations, “Fuck you and suck my ass.”

He explained that he was “severely allergic to dogs” and simply couldn’t adopt a breed.
“My mom's damn dog, who's two years old, died a week before, so we're all so sad, so I had to get a specific dog,” he said, adding the dog was for his mom.
“So why don’t you do your research before you write messages for people because you’re boring?”

The “Bupkis” star was also charged with reckless driving over the summer after he crashed his car into a home in Beverly Hills, California, in March while out with his ex-girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders.
Davidson, who completed an 18-month diversionary program for his first accident, was in a second car accident in October while leaving his comedy show in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the actor is busy with his girlfriend Madelyn Cline, whom he has been dating since October.
