LeAnn Rimes had to reschedule shows for her holiday tour due to a vocal injury that stems from an illness. She shared a handwritten letter to social media that explained to fans that she is unable to sing or speak due to a “bleed” on her vocal cord. So she had to postpone concerts in Riverside, Iowa and Nashville, which were planned for December 9th and 10th.
She wrote, “It completely and utterly breaks my heart to have to announce that I will be rescheduling this weekend’s shows, While sick with the flu, my doctor discovered a bleed on my vocal cord, caused by the violent cough that came along with being sick. I am getting better, but I am unable to talk or sing… doctor’s orders! I am devastated to have to do this as there was nothing more that I was looking forward to than celebrating the holidays with you.”
The show that was set for Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium was rescheduled for April 8th, 2023, and the concert at the Riverside Casino in Riverside, Iowa, is now set for September 29th. Rimes added that fans should refer to their emails or point of purchase to get more information. At the conclusion of her letter, she assures fans that she will see them soon, with the remaining dates set for Dec. 16 and 17, Airway Heights, Wash. on Dec. 18 and Pala, Calif. on Dec. 22 — are unaffected. Rimes also had to cancel the tour’s opening show that was set for Friday, December second, in Vorna, Ny., due to illness.
Rimes has also been documenting her sick days via her Instagram Stories this week in one post she stated, “The realization that I’m not super human is hitting me hard… J/K, Just over here, rolling with life and things that are out of my control. Feeling a bit sad.” In another she shared a photo of herself and recipe for her “relaxation concoction when wine isn’t on the menu.” Which included a mix of lemon balm, kava, and skullcap extracts.
