Singer Patricia Kelly announced on Instagram that she will not be going on tour from March as planned. The 54-year-old cites health problems as the reason.
Patricia Kelly has bad news for her fans. In a lengthy Instagram post, she announced that she was currently unable to start her “Unbreakable” tour. The planned concerts from March to May will therefore not take place. “An inflammation in the jaw area has been keeping me from singing for a few weeks,” the musician explains her cancellation.
She made many attempts, rehearsed, and was also “able to sing one or two songs, but always with pain.” It is currently impossible “to do a whole concert, let alone a whole tour,” writes the 54-year-old. She now had to make this difficult decision based on the urgent advice of the doctors. “Over the years I’ve learned one thing: health comes first.” Addressing her fans, she explains: “I am very sorry and it breaks my heart to have to disappoint you. I know how much and for how long you have been looking forward to the concerts and I also know that with every concert that is canceled , costs will arise for you.”
Patricia Kelly originally wanted to go on tour in 2023
The singer announces that she will use the next few months to “get healthy and do my therapies. I will continue to attend appointments outside of concerts.” She will probably play a few solo concerts or small solo tours with fewer concerts in the near future. Kelly also gives her fans hope for further appearances: “I will continue to do future tours, including big ones, with other artists, for example my siblings, because the singing there is distributed among several people. But at the moment there are no concrete plans, there are just thoughts that I have about it.”
Particularly bitter: The tour was postponed at the beginning of 2023. At the time, Kelly cited “the difficult economic situation” as the reason for the decision. After the corona pandemic, ticket sales for her and many other artists “have not yet started again”. Because of this, “carrying out the tour responsibly” is not possible. “I hoped until the end that we would be able to go on tour and if it weren’t for this huge financial responsibility, I would have played in front of a small audience.” This year the singer wanted to try again, but all concerts are now canceled for health reasons.
