LeAnn Rimes has been forced to postpone shows after suffering a bleed on her vocal cord.
The Can’t Fight the Moonlight chart-topper has been struck down with flu and ‘violent’ coughing caused the injury to her vocal cord.
The singer said she was devastated to have to reschedule Friday’s concert at the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort in Iowa, as well as her show at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday.
The shows will now take place on September 29, 2023, and April 8, 2023, respectively.
In a handwritten note shared on Instagram, LeAnn began: ‘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!’

She added: ‘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. Please check your emails for rescheduled information and I will see you very soon.’
The gigs are part of the Joy: The Holiday Show jaunt, which is now scheduled to kick off again on December 16.
The 40-year-old singer was sent well wishes for recovery straight away, with country star Tanya Tucker commenting: ‘Get better soon honey! 😘’

Meanwhile, The Masked Singer US winner LeAnn previously opened up about the ‘pretty heavy depression’ she suffered during the coronavirus pandemic, and how her feelings were ‘intense’ when she returned to live performing for the first time.
Speaking on the Verywell Mind podcast, the two-time Grammy winner revealed: ‘I don’t think I’ve ever been off the road for 16 months like this at one point for a solid period of time. I went back out to do my first show recently in front of thousands of people. I was so triggered.’

While the experience was ‘intense’, LeAnn also admitted it was ‘like riding a bike’ and it didn’t feel to her like there had been such a long gap without performing.
She added: ‘I recognised when I went out, how unhealthy some of this [was]. I’m like, this is not the normal experience that I’m supposed to be having. And I’ve been having this heightened, energetic experience for my whole life.’
