Country music legend Reba McEntire has been forced to postpone three upcoming concerts due to a health issue that requires her to go on vocal rest. The announcement was made through her Instagram account, where she shared a heartfelt message with her fans. “My doctor has advised me to go on vocal rest, so I have made the difficult decision to reschedule this weekend’s shows,” Reba wrote. She went on to express her gratitude for her fans’ understanding, concluding with, “Thank you for understanding! Love, Reba.” The shows in question were set to take place in Raleigh, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; and Indianapolis, Indiana. These concerts have now been rescheduled for December.
The news prompted an outpouring of support and concern from Reba’s dedicated fan base. Fans took to social media to wish her a speedy recovery and to emphasize that her health is their top priority. One fan commented, “Please take care of yourself & your voice first! Your health is more important to us than any show.” Another added, “We love you, Reba! Rest up and get better soon!”
Amid the news about her health, Reba also took a moment to honor the memory of the late Loretta Lynn, a fellow country music icon who passed away recently. In her Instagram post, Reba reminisced about her late mother, drawing poignant parallels between her mother and Loretta Lynn. She praised both women for their remarkable strength and unwavering loyalty. Reflecting on Loretta Lynn’s trailblazing career, Reba expressed deep gratitude for the paths Lynn carved out for female artists in the country music industry. “She was always so nice to me,” Reba recalled fondly. “I sure appreciate her paving the rough and rocky road for all us girl singers.”
Reba’s heartfelt tribute and her open communication about her health have only strengthened the bond between her and her fans, who eagerly await her return to the stage in December.
