Kanye West is seeking insurance for his Sunday Service tour, a typically free weekly Christian gathering, but has only been offered policies that exclude show cancellations due to mental health issues, reported news outlet TMZ on Tuesday.

In 2016, the singer who is married to Kim Kardashian West, canceled his “Saint Pablo” Tour due to alleged mental health problems and was hospitalized for more than a week, according to TMZ, which also stated that Mr. West has stated in the past that he is bipolar and that he was off of his medications at the time because of side effects.

TMZ claims that major insurance companies have said they will cover his tour, but will only underwrite a policy with the exclusion for mental health issues, regardless of whether Mr. West is taking medications.
