Just hours before going on stage in New York City, SNL Student Pete Davidson had to cancel his scheduled shows on Friday, December 22 and Saturday, December 23.
The Beacon Theater in New York City made the official announcement about the cancellation of both shows. The venue did not offer further details about what caused the shows to be cancelled.
This cancellation came a couple of months after Davidson was in an accident. That happened while he was leaving his comedy show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles in early October.
Pete Davidson returned to comedy shows in September with a mini tour. He performed alongside fellow comedians John Mulaney and Jon Stewart. The tour came just a few months after Davidson checked into a facility. He was battling post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.
The stint in the mental health facility also occurred after his explicit voicemail to PETA’s senior vice president of cruelty investigations, Daphna Nachminovitch. The comments toward Nachminovitch were the result of the PETA employee condemning the comedian’s decision to buy a cavapoo puppy for her mother instead of adopting it from an animal shelter.
Pete Davidson opened up about his mental health struggles earlier this year
During an appearance on Jon Bernthal’s show The real ones On the podcast earlier this year, Pete Davidson was candid about his mental health struggles.
Davidson stated that his PTSD is related to his childhood when the NYFD firefighter and his father, Scott Davidson, were killed during the 9/11 attacks. “My therapist and I agreed on a few, since my dad told me that he was going to pick me up from school on September 11th. “My mom picked me up and didn’t tell me what was happening for about three days.”
Pete Davidson said his mother assured him everything was fine. “She kept telling me, ‘Dad’s at work and coming home,’ whatever,” he continued. “I had no idea.”
Davidson also recalled that his mother tried to make sure he didn’t watch television. She ended up punishing him so that he wouldn’t find out about his father’s death. “I was like what? “I didn’t do anything,” he insisted. “And then one night I turned on the TV, and I saw my dad on TV, and I was like, oh, okay, and they told me these are all the firefighters who are like dead and all that.”
However, Pete said he and his family did not know for sure his father’s fate for three weeks. There was hope that he would be found alive. The situation also left him with abandonment issues.
“I also have BPD and a little mix of PTSD,” she revealed. “Which is a borderline personality disorder, so its definition is fear of abandonment. So you know, Dad says he’ll come pick you up, but he doesn’t do it for life. I’m just like he doesn’t believe anyone.”
