Ascendant country star Ella Langley is canceling a few upcoming shows due to fatigue.
In a Monday (Aug. 11) Instagram post, Langley revealed that she will be canceling seven performances, including two on Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem Tour slated for Aug. 15 and 16 in Cleveland, Ohio. She’s also canceling three opening slots on Riley Green’s Damn Country Music Tour — Aug. 21 (Bonner-West Riverside, Mont.), Aug. 22 (Idaho Falls, Idaho), Aug. 23 (Nampa, Idaho) — and Aug. 25 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo.
Her canceled shows also include an Aug. 19 performance at Nashville’s The Listening Room, while a No. 1 party for Ella, slated for Aug. 13 in Nashville, has also been postponed.

“I’m sad to be posting this,” she wrote on Instagram. “The past several weeks have been tough. I’ve been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. 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.”
She added, “Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down. I’m so grateful for your understanding and your love — it truly means the world to me.”
Her statement also quoted Biblical scripture before adding, “I’ll be back on the road in September,” she ended her post. “Ready to give you my all.”
Gavin Adcock will be filling in for Langley at Wallen’s two Ohio shows this weekend. Billboard has reached out to reps for Green and Wallen for comment on the opening slots on those select tour dates.
Langley’s September tour dates include two more stops on Wallen’s I’m the Problem Tour, including Sept. 12-13 in Edmonton, Canada. She’ll play the World Wide Technology Raceway on Sept. 6, and also has tour dates later this year on her own The Still Hungover Tour Presented by Boot Barn.
Langley is known for hits including the Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 “You Look Like You Love Me” (with Green) and the No. 2 Country Airplay hit “Weren’t For The Wind,” and was honored during Billboard‘s Country Power Players event held in June.
