LEANN RIMES FORCED TO RESCHEDULE MORE SHOWS FOR BLEED ON VOCAL CORD
December 7, 2022
LeAnn Rimes’ health woes aren't getting better. The singer had to cancel shows on her Joy: The Holiday Tour last weekend because of sudden illness. Today she revealed in a hand-written note on Instagram that the flu, which she endured last week, triggered a more serious medical issue.
"It completely and utterly breaks my heart to have to announce that I will be rescheduling this weekend's shows," she wrote. "While sick with the flu, my doctor discovered a bleed on my vocal cord, caused by the violent cough that came along with being sick. I am getting better, but I am unable to talk or sing... doctor's orders!"
Rimes said the diagnosis and what it means for her Christmas tour leaves her "devastated" because she was looking forward to celebrating the holidays with fans.

Fighting back tears, Celine Dion shared in a video to fans she has been diagnosed with an incurable neurological disorder. Speaking out on Instagram, the 54-year-old Canadian native said, "As you know, I've always been an open book. And I wasn't ready to say anything before – but I'm ready now. I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time. And it's been really difficult for me to face these challenges and talk about everything that I've been going through." Dion then revealed she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), which she explained "affects something like one in a million people." SPS is defined by the Cleveland Clinic as "a rare autoimmune movement disorder that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). People with this condition first experience a stiffening of the muscles of their trunk followed, over time, by the development of stiffness and rigidity in the legs and other muscles in the body."
In May 2021, Dion pushed the "vaccine":
"I encourage everyone to get vaccinated because I now believe it’s the only way to rebuild immunity across the world."

Mark, You are so often the first one on the scene. Johnny on the spot. I so appreciate your reporting, consistency, and doggedness. You are inspiring and oh-so-necessary for the battle we're in. Thank you, Good Man. Thank you.
hopefully there are some unjabbed singers left, otherwise we will have to do with their records only!
