After struggling through the last few shows and consulting with my doctor, we’re unfortunately realizing that it’s past the point of wanting to push through to put on a good show for all of you.”
The decision to cancel the remaining shows came in Seattle Wednesday night. Portland and Salt Lake City are the remaining stops. Refunds on tickets will be available at place of purchase. “I’m now risking long term damage and I need to pay attention to my body,” Williams said in her statement. “With that in mind and with a heavy heart, we have to cancel our remaining shows in Portland and Salt Lake City.”“I physically cannot go on,” she admitted. “I know this isn’t great news for anyone. Thank you so much for your continued support.”
The band is next scheduled to perform a sold-out show at the New Yorker Festival in October before heading to New Zealand and Australia in November and Europe next year.
