Demi Lovato has cancelled five concerts to “protect [her] health”.

The 33-year-old singer is currently preparing for her upcoming It’s Not That Deep Tour and, while she is “so excited” to get out on the road, she has axed a number of shows because she was concerned she had “overextended” herself.

Lovato announced on her Instagram Story: “My Lovatics – I’m so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can.

“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.”

As a result, Lovato will no longer perform in Charlotte on April 8, Atlanta on April 12, Nashville on April 14, Denver on May 5, or Las Vegas on May 8.

She added: “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.”

In addition, her concert in Orlando has been moved from April 10 to three days later on the 13th, where the tour will now “kick off”.

Lovato concluded her post with information on obtaining refunds, before telling those who will get to see her in action that she can’t wait.

She wrote: “If you purchased your tickets for one of these shows through Ticketmaster or AXS, refunds will be issued automatically. If you purchased from a third-party reseller (StubHub, SeatGeek, VividSeats) etc, please reach out to your point of purchase.

“In Orlando, all previously purchased tickets will be honoured for the new date.

“Additional tickets are available on demilovato.com/tour.

“I am so excited for this tour and am looking forward to seeing so many of your faces singing with me! Thank you for your support always. I love you and I cannot wait to see you soon.”

The singer has previously expressed doubts about touring again because of the impact on her health.

She told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024: “It takes a toll on your body.”
