YouTuber PewDiePie to take break from platform as 'very tired'

Swedish vlogger and comedian to step back amid accusations of racism and antisemitism

YouTuber PewDiePie has announced he will be taking a break from the video-sharing platform, saying he is "very tired".

With 102 million subscribers, the Swedish vlogger and comedian was for many years the platform's most popular star but was overtaken earlier this year by T-Series, an Indian record label which now has around 120 million subscribers.
