The 36-year-old took to Instagram over the weekend to share the six unexpected cancellations were due to a severe medical issue that required life-saving surgery.
“I’m so sorry that I had to cancel the last couple of shows, my feet are fine,” she said, referring to a broken foot she suffered last year. “I had to have emergency surgery for reasons I don’t really feel strong enough to go into yet, but it saved my life.”
She continued, “I will be back to close out the Dance Fever tour in Lisbon and Malaga (maybe not jumping so much, but you can do that for me),” she wrote, confirming plans to return with a performing in Portugal on September 1.
She concluded by writing, “Suffice to say I wish the songs were less accurate in their predictions. But creativity is a way of coping, mythology is way of making sense. And the dark fairytale of Dave Fever, with all its strange prophecies, will provide me with much needed strength and catharsis right now.”
