WASHINGTON — Singer Kehlani postponed two shows on her North American tour after a hospital visit left her unable to perform, she told fans Wednesday.
The 31-year-old singer said she went to the hospital after she became unable to swallow and experienced severe pain. She shared a photo from a hospital room in a social media post that she later deleted.
“After two off days feeling completely normal, I’ve been up all night unable to swallow & in so much pain,” Kehlani wrote. “I just left the hospital & am not cleared to sing for the next two shows. I’m so sorry.”
The hospitalization forced Kehlani to postpone scheduled performances in Camden, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. Her team rescheduled the Camden concert for Sept. 5 and the Columbia, Maryland, show for Sept. 6.
Kehlani said her tour will resume in Virginia. She is scheduled to perform in Richmond on Saturday, Aug. 29.
“I do everything I’m supposed to ensure my health stays up to par & it still isn’t guaranteed,” she wrote.
Kehlani did not disclose the reason for her hospitalization.
The singer released her self-titled album in April and began the North American leg of her tour Aug. 6 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The tour is scheduled to conclude Oct. 4 in San Francisco, California.
