LeAnn Rimes has pushed back upcoming tour dates after falling seriously ill, telling fans she's been unable to get out of bed as she recovers.
The 43-year-old singer revealed on April 29 that she would not be making it to her scheduled performances in Spokane and Seattle, part of her 30 Years of Blue Tour.
"Due to severe illness, I am unable to travel & perform this week," she shared. "I'm so sorry to share that the upcoming shows in Spokane and Seattle will be rescheduled."
Although disappointed, Rimes confirmed the concerts have already been moved, with Spokane set for May 31 and Seattle for June 2.
"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. "I look forward to being back on stage and seeing you very soon."
She later gave a glimpse into how unwell she has been, describing the sickness in stark terms. "I don't know exactly what I have, but it's BRUTAL!" she said, adding, "Haven't left the bed."
A photo shared alongside the update showed her resting under the covers, surrounded by 3 boxes of tissues.
The affected shows were originally scheduled for April 30 and May 1, shortly after the tour began on April 19. Fans have been assured their tickets will still be valid for the new dates, with refund options also available.
Away from the stage, Rimes recently opened up about personal challenges during a milestone moment in her life. While marking 15 years of marriage with Eddie Cibrian, she described the period as emotionally difficult.
"We got to step away for 3 days amidst work and some very tense, heart wrenching things happening at home with family," she wrote.
She called the anniversary "one filled with tears and worry," but noted there were still moments of gratitude along the way. "We know how to ride the waves, hold each other in times of need, mend what needs mending," she shared.
For now, Rimes is focusing on getting better, with plans to return to the stage once she has fully recovered.
