has rescheduled two dates on her 30 Years of Blue Tour after saying her health would not allow her to travel and perform this week. The 43-year-old singer said April 29 that the upcoming shows in Spokane and Seattle would be moved, with Spokane set for May 31 and Seattle for June 2.

Rimes said she was “truly heartbroken” to postpone the concerts and thanked fans for their kindness as she recovered. The update came after she posted a photo on April 28 showing herself in bed with three boxes of tissues, saying she did not know exactly what she had and that it was “brutal,” while adding that she had not left the bed.

The dates were part of the 30 Years of Blue Tour, which has marked a long run for the singer since the release of her breakthrough album. Rimes has described her condition as a severe illness and said she has mostly been stuck in bed, turning what should have been a routine tour week into a cancellation call that left little room for alternatives.

The rescheduled shows also come just days after Rimes and marked their 15th anniversary, a period she recently described as filled with tears, worry and gratitude. On April 23, she said the couple stepped away for three days amid “very tense, heart wrenching things happening at home with family,” a reminder that the tour changes landed during an already difficult stretch at home.

For fans in Spokane and Seattle, the answer is now on the calendar: the shows are not gone, just pushed back. Rimes has said the recovery is still in motion, and the new dates suggest she expects to be back onstage soon enough to make good on the promise she gave fans — “good news as we will be seeing you very soon.”
