Country singer LeAnn Rimes postponed two concert dates in Washington state this week due to a severe illness [1].
The rescheduling affects the "30 Years of Blue" tour, disrupting the artist's travel schedule and impacting ticket holders in two major U.S. cities.
Rimes announced the change on April 29, 2026, affecting her scheduled performance in Spokane on April 30 and her show in Seattle on May 1 [1, 2]. The singer said that the health crisis has left her unable to perform her planned sets.
In a statement shared via Instagram Stories, Rimes said, "I haven't left the bed because of a bad sickness" [3]. The singer said she is distressed over the situation and needs to prioritize her recovery before returning to the stage.
"I am truly heartbroken," Rimes said [4].
While some reports suggested several concerts were affected, verified records indicate two specific shows were postponed [1]. The singer has not yet provided a specific medical diagnosis for the illness that has kept her bedridden [3, 4].
Tour organizers have not yet announced the new dates for the Spokane and Seattle performances. Fans are expected to receive updates regarding ticket validity as the singer recovers from the illness [1, 2].
“"I haven't left the bed because of a bad sickness."”
The postponement of these dates highlights the physical toll of long-term touring on legacy artists. By rescheduling rather than canceling, Rimes maintains the financial viability of the "30 Years of Blue" tour while managing a health crisis that rendered her physically unable to travel.
