Kelsea Ballerini Cancels Tour Dates After Dramatic Stage Exit Due to Illness

BBG News

Kelsea Ballerini has adjusted the timing for three concerts following an unexpected end to her performance in Buffalo, New York last Thursday evening because she was unwell.

Despite her initial determination to perform despite her health problems, the 31-year-old country singer ultimately had to halt her performance after only five songs due to unavoidable circumstances.

Following the Grammy nominee’s departure from the stage, one of her team members informed the audience that sadly, Ballerini was unable to complete the performance for the night due to being unwell.

He informed the fans that he doesn’t have a lot more information to share at this moment. However, they should expect to receive emails about possible solutions, as they will continue exploring options. For now, there’s not much else he can disclose.

swiftly expressed gratitude and apologies on social media, acknowledging the kindness shown by her fans during these challenging moments.

In her Instagram Story video, she apologized for being unable to complete the performance tonight due to feeling worse than she’d like to admit. She didn’t want to disappoint anyone and managed to get through just a few songs before realizing she couldn’t continue. She expressed her sincere apologies for not giving her best performance.

She went on to say: ‘We’re moving our performances in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and the following day to the finale of the tour. I promise to deliver the best shows I’ve ever given, pouring all my efforts into them, and ensuring they are more than worth your wait.’

I’m off to take a break and recover, so I can give my best for the remainder of the tour,” Ballerini said. “I hope you can understand, and I appreciate your patience as we all go through our human moments. And by the way, I love you.

After the post, she posted a selfie of herself snuggled with a dog-shaped pillow resembling her goldendoodle, Dibs, a gift from a fan, while concentrating on her recovery process.

‘I can’t even tell you how much I needed this and what it means,’ she captioned the picture. 

Prior to ending her performance in Buffalo, she confessed the previous day that she had consumed an amount of DayQuil and Nyquil equivalent to calming a large horse.

The revised concert is set for April 11 in Buffalo, whereas her Pittsburgh show has moved to April 12, and the concert in Toronto has been postponed until April 13.

Earlier on Thursday, she tweeted that she was ‘feeling better’ and got ‘some good rest.’ 

She expressed, ‘I was reminded just now how much I adore sleep, but thankfully, my medication is working well and I can hardly wait to entertain you tonight! My voice has a slight hoarseness, but with determination like Phoebe from Friends, we’ll make it work, and I’ll be on that stage ready for you. I promise not to disappoint!’

This past month, as reported by Taste of Country, Ballerini faced difficulties during her performance in Detroit.

During the show, she seemingly lost her voice while singing Penthouse. 

Later on, she expressed gratitude towards her fans for their assistance in supporting her during the performance and for being exceptionally boisterous and considerate.

Apart from dealing with her personal health challenges, Ballerini disclosed last year that her cherished dog, Dibs, had been diagnosed with cancer.

In August, it was verified that Dibs had an incurable heart cancer for which he was being given medication to ensure his comfort.

Dibs isn’t just one of her beloved pets, but also shares a name with a popular tune that debuted on Kelsea Ballerini’s 2014 self-produced EP.

This season, the composer behind “Peter Pan” hits took over from Gwen Stefani as a judge on The Voice. Joining him are Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine.

Throughout her musical journey, this artist has garnered numerous accolades, received Grammy nominations, and shared stages with prominent musicians.
