American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore has canceled her remaining tour dates as the artist is pregnant for the second time. In a social media post, Mandy Moore noted that when she announced the tour, she was not pregnant and thought she could power through. However, it has now gotten too challenging for her, and traveling for long hours has taken its toll on her health.
The singer and actress is expecting her second child with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith.
The This Is Us star was on tour in support of her album In Real Life and was scheduled to perform in twelve more cities in North America in the month of July. The artist added, noting that the tickets for the canceled shows will be refunded at the point of purchase.
Taking to Instagram, Mandy Moore wrote:
"Friends, It is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have to let you all know that I am canceling my remaining show dates in 2022. It has been an honor and an absolute dream to return to the stage again this past month, performing for all of you. When we booked these shows, I wasn't pregnant and although I truly thought I could power through, the way we are traveling (long hours on the bus and not getting proper rest) has caught up, taken its toll, and made it feel too challenging to proceed.”
She further noted, saying:
"I know that I have to put my family and my health (and the health of my baby) first and the best place for me to be right now is at home. Thank you for all of your support along the way and thank you in advance for respecting my decision. I can't wait to get back out there soon to bring this music and show your way!!"
