LEANN Rimes has been forced to cancel more of her upcoming concerts after revealing she’s been diagnosed with severe laryngitis.

The 43-year-old singer shared the news on Instagram, explaining a recent COVID infection led to the condition.

She confirmed a doctor’s examination of her vocal cords backed up the diagnosis.

Her shows in Waukegan, Illinois, and Wilmington, Ohio, have been rescheduled for November 6 and 7.

Tickets for the original dates will still be valid, with refunds available for those who can’t make the new dates.

“It breaks my heart, having to schedule these shows. There is no place I would rather be next week than celebrating with all of you,” Rimes wrote.

This announcement comes shortly after she cancelled her Spokane and Seattle shows earlier this week due to health problems.

Despite the setbacks, Rimes appeared upbeat last week as she celebrated her 15th wedding anniversary with husband Eddie Cibrian in Mexico.

In a cheeky anniversary post, she hinted at her health struggles, joking about taking Cibrian “in perimenopause and in health, with teeth and without.”

Fans will be hoping the country star recovers quickly and is back on stage soon, as she promised she’s looking forward to seeing them again.
