Amy Shark has cancelled her upcoming North American tour dates due to suddenly needing surgery.
Her tour dates were due to begin on Wednesday, 6 September, at Washington D.C.’s Union Stage and would have wrapped up at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday, 26 September.
“In recent days I’ve had some very uncomfortable painful moments and have just found out that I need surgery ASAP,” the Adore singer wrote in a Notes app post on social media this morning (9 August).
Assuring fans that she’s “all good”, Shark is keeping details on the surgery private. “I will need a month to recover, meaning I have to cancel the North American tour next month. I’m so sad right now. I’m very sorry but I need to focus on my health for a month.
“I hope you understand and I promise I’ll be back as soon as I’m recovered. Much love from sad Amy,” she concluded, accompanying the post with a picture of “sad Amy” in the flesh.
Donning a hospital gown, Shark has her thumbs down, a sad face and crying emojis around her head. We wish Amy Shark a speedy recovery and smiles ahead of this time.
