PREVIOUSLY: Reneé Rapp has been criss-crossing North America for the past month on her headlining Bite Me tour. But over the weekend, the singer and former Sex Lives of College Girls star had to pump the brakes on two planned late-tour dates on doctor’s orders.

“In my career I have never had to do this before — but I have to reschedule tonight and tomorrow’s shows,” she wrote on Sunday on her Instagram Story of the gig originally planned for Sunday (Oct. 26) at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and another scheduled for Monday (Oct 27) at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Fla. “I’ve been pushing through an illness but my body has finally given out. My doctors have told me that it isn’t safe to perform due to the need for vocal rest and physical recovery” she added.

Rapp told fans that the Tampa show will now take place on Nov. 4 and the Atlanta stop has been pushed to Nov. 5. All original tickets will be honored for the new dates. In the meantime, Rapp said, the show scheduled for the Spectrum Centre in Charlotte, N.C. on Wednesday (Oct. 29) is still scheduled to move forward as planned.

“I truly appreciate how much time, planning and preparation goes into coming to a show,” Rapp wrote. “I can’t describe to you how sorry I am to have to move things around. I love you all and I will see you soon.”

After the final three North American dates, Rapp will be back on the road in early 2026 for a European swing that is slated to kick off on March 11 at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium and keep her on the road through a March 22 show at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Billboard’s Live Music Summit will be held in Los Angeles on Nov. 3. For tickets and more information click here.

Dolly Parton has postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years due to “health challenges.”

The country music icon, 79, announced the news in a post on Instagram on Sept. 28, telling fans that she wanted them “to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts.”

“As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” she wrote.

“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you,” the 9 to 5 singer explained.

Parton said that she will still be able to work on all of her projects from Nashville but she needs “a little time to get show ready, as they say.”

She assured fans to not “worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet.”

“But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you,” she added. “I love you and thank you for understanding.”

Parton was scheduled to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13, overlapping with the National Finals Rodeo. Her dates have been moved to late next year — September 2026.

Earlier this month, Parton was unable to attend the announcement of a new ride at her Tennessee theme park Dollywood due to health issues.

“I had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, turned out it’d given me an infection and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be travelling right this minute, so you need a few days to get better,’” Parton said in a video announcement at the time.

“So, he suggested I not go to Dollywood today, but I’m there with you in spirit. I was looking so forward to it,” she added.

In March, Parton announced that Carl Thomas Dean, her husband of nearly 60 years, had died.

“Carl Dean, husband of Dolly Parton, passed away March 3rd in Nashville at the age of 82. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. He was survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie,” a statement on her Instagram page read.

A quote from Parton was also included. It read, “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”

“The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time,” the post added.

Parton also released her new single If You Hadn’t Been There the same month, in honour of her longtime husband.

“I fell in love with Carl Dean when I was 18 years old. We have spent 60 precious and meaningful years together,” Parton wrote.

“Like all great love stories, they never end. They live on in memory and song. He will always be the star of my life story, and I dedicate this song to him.”

The star said that although it was a difficult decision, she didn’t want to “risk long term or permanent damage” to her vocal cords

Lady Gaga has postponed her show in Miami tonight, citing an “extremely strained” voice and recommendations from both her doctor and vocal coach to rest.

The star called off the show just before it was set to kick off in Kaseya Center as thousands gathered to see Gaga perform. “I am really so so sorry but I need to postpone tonight’s show in Miami,” wrote Gaga in her statement shared to Instagram Stories. “During rehearsal last night and my vocal warmup tonight my voice was extremely strained and both my Dr and vocal coach have advised me not to go on because of the risk it poses.” The singer said that while she wants to” be hardcore and just push through this for you,” she doesn’t “want to risk long term or permanent damage on my vocal cords.”

She reminded fans that she sings live every night and that there is “a significant risk based on all our combined experience with a show like ours.” Gaga said that while it was “a hard and agonizing decision,” she would be “more afraid of the long term implications on my voice.”

Gaga continued, “I hope you can forgive me and accept my sincerest apologies for any disappointment, let down, inconvenience I am so so sorry I tried so hard to avoid this I take serious care of myself to be able to put on this highly demanding show. I love my fans so much, respect you and hope you can accept my sincere regretful apology.” The musician said that her team is “trying to reschedule the show as quickly as possible.”

The Grammy winner’s show tonight was slated to be the last of three in Miami for her Mayhem Ball tour. It’s currently unclear if additional appearances will be affected. Gaga is still scheduled to take the stage on Saturday and Sunday in New York City at Madison Square Garden, and is also scheduled to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she leads all contenders with 12 nominations.

Jessie J Cancels U.S. Tour, Postpones U.K and European Shows

by jummy84 August 29, 2025

written by jummy84

Jessie J announced that all U.S. dates of her No Secrets tour have been cancelled and that she has postponed her U.K. and European shows ahead of her second surgery after her breast cancer diagnoses.

The singer announced the news in a post shared to Instagram on Thursday. She began by saying that after scrapping her first video, which was five minutes long and “not realistic to anyone,” she decided to release a shorter one “with more facts, less emotion,” and to “just be blunt.”

Jessie said that following her breast cancer surgery eight weeks ago, she now has to undergo a second surgery. While she said it was “nothing too serious,” she said the surgery had to be done by the end of the year and “unfortunately, that falls right in the middle of a tour that I had booked.”

The “Domino” artist said that she is “living” and “embracing the moment,” while “flowing with the vibes.” She added, “So, that is what it is, and I’m sorry. I feel frustrated and sad, but also it is what it is, and I need to be better. I need to be healed. And I know this is the right decision to make.”

The U.K. and European shows previously scheduled for October 2025 will now take place April 2026, while all U.S. tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment.

Jessie asked U.S. fans to “please bear with us” and assured them that “it’s something that I want to do, but when the time is right.” She added, “You guys know how much I want to do all of it, but I just can’t, and I have to be realistic.” The musician also teased that there is “new music coming” and that she was already getting messages about the album cover design.

“I’m trying to compartmentalize all the different things that are happening in my life and where I have to give the energy, but I have to heal. So, forgive me. I’m sorry,” she said, before sharing that her next single, “Believe in Magic,” drops Friday. “I love you all so much, and I’m so grateful you’re on this journey with me. I’m going to go before I cry my eyes out.”

Jessie returned to music earlier this year and released singles “No Secrets” in April and “Living My Best Life” the following month. Following her mastectomy after her breast cancer diagnosis in June, Jessie shared that the cancer did not spread.

Six weeks after her first surgery, Jessie was admitted to the hospital once again to address ongoing complications. The singer shared in an Instagram Story post that she discharged herself after being assured that the symptoms she was experiencing were not related to a blood clot in her lungs. “I finally got a diagnosis of what’s been going on. Lots of people have been asking, apparently it’s called… Dramatic? I think that’s the spelling,” she later wrote in another post. “My symptoms are the same and no idea what’s wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on.”
