Rising country music star Ella Langley has unexpectedly canceled her upcoming August concerts, citing that the past several weeks have been “tough.”
The 26-year-old singer, best known for her viral 2024 hit “You Look Like You Love Me,” was scheduled to perform several shows across America’s heartland this month. However, in a Monday Instagram post, Langley announced that she would no longer be able to fulfill her duties for the following dates:
August 15 and 16 — Cleveland, Ohio
August 19 — Nashville, Tennessee (listening room)
August 21 — Bonner-West Riverside, Montana
August 22 — Idaho Falls, Idaho
August 23 — Nampa, Idaho
August 25 — Morrison, Colorado
“I’m so sad to be posting this. The past several weeks have been tough,” she wrote. “I’ve been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever.”
She continued: “After a lot of thought, I’ve made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health — mind, body, and heart. I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can’t do that without first taking care of myself.
“Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down,” Langley reminded fans. “I’m so grateful for your understanding and your love — it truly means the world to me.”
Signing off, she confirmed that she would be returning to the road in September, “ready to give you my all.”
Langley’s two Ohio appearances were supposed to see her open for Grammy-winning artist Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” tour. She’s been a part of his rotating opening acts, alongside other singers, including Miranda Lambert and Thomas Rhett. Fellow country singer Gavin Adcock will be taking over her August slots.
Next month, Langley is set to open for Wallen’s Edmonton, Canada, dates on September 12 and 13, before later finishing out her own The Still Hungover tour, which kicked off in January.
The final leg of her North American tour is scheduled to begin October 9 in Durant, Oklahoma, continuing on to other major Southern cities such as Fort Worth, Texas; Athens, Georgia; Chattanooga, Tennessee; and wrapping November 6 and 7 in Nashville, Tennessee.
