LeAnn Rimes Reveals Severe Laryngitis Diagnosis
According to Page Six, the singer said doctors examined her vocal cords after she developed serious symptoms connected to COVID. Medical specialists later confirmed that she was suffering from severe laryngitis, forcing her to reschedule additional performances.
LeAnn Rimes moved her scheduled concerts in Waukegan, Illinois, and Wilmington, Ohio, to new dates in November.

The singer admitted that canceling the shows deeply upset her because she looked forward to seeing fans and celebrating with them. Earlier in the week, she also postponed performances in Seattle and Spokane after explaining that illness made her unable to travel or sing safely.
The Singer Recently Celebrated A Personal Milestone

LeAnn Rimes also posted a playful anniversary message online in which she briefly hinted that health struggles had affected her recently. She joked about facing “perimenopause and health” challenges while renewing her appreciation for her husband’s support. Despite the difficult setback, the singer thanked fans for their kindness and encouragement while she recovers. She also promised supporters that she hopes to return to the stage soon once doctors allow her to safely perform again.
