Kesha has postponed her March and April tour dates in order to recover from knee surgery she had Tuesday to repair an ACL tear she sustained when she fell during a concert in Dubai on Feb. 9.
According to Variety, the singer will have rehab in preparation for her North American tour with Macklemore this summer, which is set to begin June 6. The postponed dates were in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and New Zealand. Ticket holders were told to hold onto tickets until the dates can be rescheduled.
“Moving these dates is making me sick with sadness, but I tried to will this injury away and unfortunately it didn’t work,” Kesha said in an announcement from her rep, Variety reported. “I love you all and I’ll work every single day, as hard as I can, to recover and get back on stage as soon as possible. I’m so sorry and sending love always.”
The summer tour with Macklemore, titled “The Adventures of Kesha and Macklemore,” will have 30 dates and $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to charity. Kesha’s portion will go to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) while Macklemore will donate his portion to PLUS 1, a racial and social justice charity, Variety reported.
Kesha performed her new single, “Praying,” at the Grammy Awards last month with a #MeToo twist. She was nominated for best pop solo performance for “Praying” and best pop vocal album for “Rainbow.”
Twitter fans hoped Kesha would have a quick recovery.
