I don't want to write this post today. I feel tired, angry, sad, and frustrated. But I must accept what I can't change, and that's the fact that I began having some health issues recently that continue to worsen to the point where I was forced last week to make the very difficult decision of postponing my upcoming fall tour. There are so many things I'd like to say about this business, and how badly a tour postponement affects me, my musicians, tour managers, promoters, agent, and my fans. But in the end, in a business that pushes us physically to our absolute limits on tour, I must make the best choice for my health at this time. I can't go on tour with the symptoms I'm experiencing, and I'm still in the process of being properly diagnosed after many tests, doctor appointments and more to come. Luckily I can still walk my dogs, and enjoy the basic pleasures of life. But without treatment and with time running out before the tour start I had to make an impossible decision to postpone. Since the tour is postponed NOT cancelled that means that most if not all concerts will be rescheduled and my agent and promoters are working on new dates, so you can hold onto your tickets until further announcement and we really appreciate your patience and understanding at this difficult time. Because of the massive financial loss for myself and my team it would mean so much to me if you could purchase something from my webshop to support me www.layla.ca/shop or make a donation at buymeacoffee.com/laylazoe and/or or reach out to one of the musicians to do online music lessons (Ruben Roeh - guitar, Tim Steiner - bass, Felix Dehmel - drums) to help them with extra income, and/or visit one of the clubs where I was scheduled to play and enjoy another show. Your continued support at this difficult time means the world to me, and I'm never a woman/artist of few words, however I prefer to keep the details of my health situation private at this time. All my love and gratitude for the decades of support I have received from so many of you. See you on stage once my health allows it and I can come back stronger and better than ever, Layla
