‘For the last few months, I’ve been receiving treatments following doctor’s orders and doing my best to learn more about this invisible illness. Lyme has affected me in a variety of ways and while it has not only taken a tremendous toll on my physical body, it has also caused concern for my voice as well.’

The second postponement announcement was also met with disappointment from Australian fans.

‘Obviously, best wishes for your personal situation…but Australia? Two cancellations? I may not be available next time, so might require a refund – sorry,’ one crestfallen fan said.

Another chimed in with a similar yet supportive response.

‘So heartbroken for our show to be rescheduled again, but family first always. Sending love and can’t wait to see you in New Zealand soon,’ they wrote.

FLETCHER’s July Australian tour, to support her sophomore 2024 album In Search Of The Antidote, was scheduled to kick of in Perth on Tuesday before moving onto Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.
