Demi Lovato has cancelled five of their upcoming concerts to “protect my health.”

The singer-songwriter, 33, said in an Instagram story on Tuesday (10 February) that she was cancelling five dates on the It’s Not That Deep tour over concerns they had “overextended” themselves.

Originally set to begin on 8 April in North Carolina, the tour will now begin on 13 April in Florida.

“My Lovatics – I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can,” they said. “While starting to prepare for the tour, I realised that I have overextended what may be possible.

“To protect my health, and ensure I can give you my all at each show, I need to build in more time to rest and rehearse and ultimately adjust to a schedule with some more time off that will allow me to handle the entire run of the tour.”

Among the tour dates to be cut are shows in Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Denver.

“I am so sad to say that I will no longer be able to see you on this tour, and I am so sorry to those who planned to be there,” she continued.

The singer noted that refunds were already being processed for tickets bought through Ticketmaster or AXS. Those who received tickets from a third-party reseller, such as StubHub or SeatGeek, must reach out to the site directly for a refund.

Additional tickets for available tour dates were also put up for sale on Lovato’s website, they said.
