LeAnn Rimes revealed that she has to reschedule more concerts amid her ongoing health issues.
“After a follow-up visit with my doctor, she has strongly advised me to take an additional week of vocal rest while I heal from this sickness,” the singer, 43, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, May 12. “This sadly means I can no longer perform this weekend in Washington and Wilmington.”
Rimes explained that the shows were not canceled but postponed. The Washington D.C. show is now scheduled for August 15, and Wilmington, Delaware will be on August 16. Tickets for the original date will remain valid. Refunds are available if the new dates do not work.
The Gramme winner added that she is “so excited” to see fans at those new dates while she focuses on getting better in the meantime.
“I can’t wait to be healthy and back on stage, making memories with you!” Rimes continued. “I’ll see you in August!”
This is the third time Rimes has had to reschedule her shows due to health reasons. Last month, Rimes revealed that she was battling a “severe illness” and unable to travel and perform.
“I am truly heartbroken to have to reschedule and I am so very grateful for your kindness and continued support as I recover,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in April. “I look forward to being back on stage and seeing you very soon.”
Days later, Rimes shared that she unfortunately had to reschedule more concert dates as her illness worsened.
“After a diagnosis of covid leading to severe laryngitis, I’m so sorry to have to reschedule next week’s shows,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in May. “A visit to my doctor for a scope of my vocal cords has confirmed the news and I wanted to tell you as soon as I could.”
Rimes added that “it breaks my heart, having to schedule these shows.”
“There is no place I would rather be next week than celebrating with all of you,” she continued. “However, this is sadly out of my hands until I get this under control.”
Later that month, Rimes gave fans a glimpse of her doing an at-home remedy for her throat issues.
“After being on antibiotics, I’m trying to heal thrush in my throat and acid reflux … dear lord help me,” she wrote via her Instagram Story alongside a photo of her holding a clear drink on ice. “Sunshine, grounding [and] coconut water & aloe vera juice with fresh rosemary from our yard.”
