Suffering from acute laryngitis, rocker Avril Lavigne has postponed six dates on her U.S. "Best Damn Tour."

She had already canceled shows in Phoenix and San Diego this week.

"My sincerest apologies to all of my fans," she said in a statement to Usmagazine.com. "My intention was to complete the rest of the tour, but tonight at sound check in Anaheim, [Ca.], I realized this wasn't possible.
