The singer took to her Instagram Stories to share a post regarding her health and how it will impact the remainder of her tour.
“Hi my loves so I’m still very sick. I’ve been sick since the last London show [in mid-October]. I don’t know how it’s possible but my throat and head are still in so much pain. I sound okay I’m just in a lot of pain and it’s difficult to breathe during the show,” the 26-year-old wrote.
Explaining that she is seeing her doctor ahead of her show in Lexington, Kentucky, she continued, “The last thing I would ever want to do is cancel a show at this point with so few left. I’m truly cherishing every moment of this… I just really don’t know what’s happening with my body right now and need to figure it out.”
“I’m on all the meds. Getting IV drips, doing everything I possibly can to pull through. Mum and friends are taking good care of me. just a scary feeling,” she concluded. “Love you with all my heart and will keep you posted.”
The ‘7 Rings’ singer told fans in August that she had been battling panic attacks, depression and anxiety, while touring Europe and cancelled a meet and greet in Antwerp, Belgium.
“Time for some honesty,” she wrote. “My depression and anxiety have been at an all-time high lately. I have been giving you all I’ve got and trying to push through as hard as I can and mask it.”
“I wish I had control over these attacks,” she added, “but as anybody with anxiety or depression understands, sometimes you can only operate on its terms and not your own.”
