Demi Lovato is prioritizing her health.
The 33-year-old singer, known for hits like “Cool for the Summer,” has decided to postpone the start of her It’s Not That Deep Tour, initially slated to begin on April 8 in North Carolina. Lovato expressed to her fans that she needs to focus on her well-being.
“My Lovatics — I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, February 10.
“As I began tour preparations, it became clear that I had taken on more than I could manage,” she explained. “To safeguard my health and ensure I deliver my best at every performance, I need extra time for rest, rehearsals, and a revised schedule that includes more downtime to sustain me throughout the tour.”
The tour will now commence on April 13 in Orlando, Florida, moving from its initial April 10 date in the same city. Unfortunately, performances in Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Denver have been dropped from the itinerary.
“It breaks my heart not to meet you on this tour, and I apologize sincerely to those who had planned to attend,” she shared.
According to the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer, refunds will be “issued automatically” for those who purchased admission through Ticketmaster or AXS; fans who used third-party resellers to purchase seats must contact their point of purchase.
“I am so excited for this tour and am looking forward to seeing so many of your faces singing with me!” she concluded. “Thank you for your support always. I love you and I cannot wait to see you soon.”
Lovato announced the It’s Not That Deep Tour in October, writing on Instagram, “I can’t wait to get back on the road with you and dance to these songs together night after night.”
While the singer did not share additional details about her health, Lovato has previously opened up about her struggles with addiction as well as her physical and mental well-being throughout the years.
In 2018, the “Sober” singer suffered a near-fatal overdose, which she discussed in detail in her four-part YouTube documentary Dancing with the Devil.
