Bon Iver has cancelled its appearance on "A Prairie Home Companion" slated for Jan. 14 as well as a month-long European tour that would've started a week after. 

The band made the announcement on Twitter Wednesday morning, citing only "personal reasons."

The European tour would've been the longest run of concerts since the release of Bon Iver's latest album, "22, A Million," last fall. The record was the band's first release in five years, and it was met with critical acclaim. 

 ahead of the "22, A Million" release, Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon discussed the exhaustion that came with his band's near-constant touring for its wildly successful early albums. 

Bon Iver is still scheduled to perform at Rock the Garden in Minneapolis in July, in addition to several other music festivals including Coachella in April.
