Demi Lovato has adjusted her upcoming It’s Not That Deep Tour, canceling five shows and rescheduling one other in order to “protect my health,” the performer told fans in a Tuesday (Feb. 10) announcement.
In a candid post on their Instagram Story, Lovato began by writing, “My Lovatics — I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can.”
“While starting to prepare for the tour, I realized that I have overextended what may be possible,” the Camp Rock alum continued. “To protect my health, and ensure I can give you my all at each show, I need to build in more time to rest and rehearse and ultimately adjust to a schedule with some more time off that will allow me to handle the entire run of the tour.”
Lovato went on to list the cities in which she’ll no longer be stopping on the trek: Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Denver and Charlotte, N.C. “I am so sad to say that I will no longer be able to see you on this tour and I am so sorry to those who planned to be there,” they wrote.
Another change in the singer’s tour schedule is her show in Orlando, Fla., which will now take place on April 13 and replace the canceled date in Charlotte as the tour’s kickoff performance. According to Lovato, refunds for the scrapped concerts will be issued automatically on Ticketmaster or AXS, while fans who used third-party resellers to purchase seats will need to contact their points of purchase for more information.
“I am so excited for this tour and am looking forward to seeing so many of your faces singing with me!” Lovato added in their post. “Thank you for your support always. I love you and I cannot wait to see you soon.”
The hitmaker first announced the tour in late October. The now-18-date trek will support her 2025 album, It’s Not That Deep, which debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and topped Billboard’s Top Dance Albums chart.
Though Tuesday’s post didn’t delve into the health facets Lovato is working to protect on the road this year, the singer has long been open about struggling with sobriety, eating disorders and mental health.
“I have been to inpatient treatment five times, and it has something that every single time I walked back into a treatment center, I felt defeated,” Lovato said in June 2024 while speaking at the Center for Youth Mental Health at NewYork-Presbyterian benefit. “And I know that experience firsthand, but I think the glimmer of hope was when I started putting in the work and I started to, whether it was work, a program, or talk to my treatment team and build relationships there.”
