Gracie Abrams Cancels Two More Shows Due to Illness: ‘I Can’t Express How Much This Breaks My Heart’

Gracie Abrams has canceled two more shows as she continues to fight off an illness, the singer announced Sunday (March 2).  

In another handwritten note posted to her Instagram Story, Abrams told fans that she would no longer be performing March 3 in Nottingham or March 4 in Leeds. “I hate that I have to write this again so soon,” she penned of the two shows in England. “Unfortunately, I am really still struggling with this illness and have been advised that I cannot perform these next two nights.”  

“I can’t tell you how much this breaks my heart,” continued the Grammy nominee. “This tour is something I’ve been dreaming of since the album came out, and the shows we’ve played so far have meant more to me than I can tell you.” 

Adding that her team would be in touch with ticketholders as soon as they had “concrete details,” Abrams concluded, “Please know I’d give anything to be able to be with you … I’m sending all my love and my deepest regrets.”

The “That’s So True” singer’s latest update comes just a few days after she canceled her scheduled Feb. 28 performance in Brussels. Abrams wrote at the time that her body was “fighting off something gnarly,” and that “all medical advice” she’d gotten up to that point had directed her to rest. “At this point in time I can’t give you the show you deserve and that breaks my heart, especially knowing all the travel and the planning and the care that you put into attending our show,” she’d added.

Abrams is currently midway through the European leg of her The Secret of Us Tour, which supports her Billboard 200 No. 2 album of the same name. She first kicked off the trek in North America in 2024 and will eventually make her way through Asia and Australia before circling back through the U.S., Mexico and Canada this summer. 

The “Close to You” artist is next scheduled to perform March 6 in London at the O2 Arena. Later this month, she’ll accept Songwriter of the Year at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she’ll also perform alongside fellow honorees aespa, GloRilla, Tyla and more.
