Mandy Moore has canceled her remaining US tour dates after life on the road took its toll.
The This Is Us actress is currently pregnant with her second child, with husband Taylor Goldsmith.
In a lengthy statement on Instagram, the 38-year-old explained that their traveling situation had become ‘too challenging to proceed’.
‘Friends, it is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have to let you all know that I am cancelling my remaining show dates in 2022,’ she began.
‘It has been an honor and an absolute dream to return to the stage again this past month, performing for all of you.
‘When we booked these shows, I wasn’t pregnant and although I truly thought I could power through, the way we are traveling (long hours on the bus and not getting proper rest) has caught up, taken its toll, and made it feel too challenging to proceed.
‘I know that I have to put my family and my health (and the health of my baby) first and the best place for me to be right now is at home.’
‘Thank you for all your support along the way and thank you in advance for respecting my decision,’ the expectant mom concluded. ‘I can’t wait to get back out there soon to bring this new music and show your way!!
‘All tickets will be refunded at place of purchase.’
Fans flooded Mandy’s comments section with love and support, urging her to get some rest.
‘Proud of you, friend. None of this can be easy! Take care of yourself,’ an Instagram user replied.
‘Sending lots of love to you and the fam,’ another wrote.
‘THIS,’ one penned. ‘Our HEALTH should always come first and that should always be supported! Congratulations and rest easy beautiful.’
‘Your health is most important!!! We all love you,’ a follower replied.

As a fan added: ‘Thanks so much for letting us know! Although I’m so sad not to see you, I completely understand your decision and am so proud of you for putting your health and your baby’s health’s first!
‘Love you and can’t wait to see you on the road after your baby is born and you recover & are ready to perform! Much love to you @mandymooremm!’
Mandy kicked off her new run of performances earlier this month, with her next tour date listed as Dallas on July 6.
The A Walk To Remember actress confirmed that she would be adding to her family with Taylor just a few weeks ago, getting son August in on the baby announcement.
In an adorable Instagram upload, the one-year-old could be seen in a playground, donning a T-shirt with the message: ‘Big brother’.
‘One incredibly seminal chapter of my life just ended and the next one, as a mother of two, is about to start…,’ the expectant mom – who is kicking off her tour this month – captioned the picture.
‘And are we ever so deeply grateful and excited. Baby Boy Goldsmith #2 coming this fall!’

‘There’s a good chance I’m the happiest, luckiest person you know (or just follow) and now we’re gonna double it.’
