Prayers Up: Victoria Monét Cancels Upcoming Shows Due to Health Concerns
In a heartfelt announcement that has reverberated through the music community, Victoria Monét has revealed that she is battling ongoing health issues, leading to the cancellation of several upcoming performances. The “On My Mama” singer took to Instagram to share the difficult news with her fans, who have responded with an outpouring of support and well-wishes.
Victoria Monét, known for her powerful voice and compelling performances, shared the following message on social media:
“I am gutted to share that I will no longer be able to perform at Governors Ball (NYC), Roots Picnic (Philadelphia) or Blavity (Nashville) this June. I am so sorry,” Monét shared on social media.
“Candidly, I have been dealing with some ongoing health issues that have to be addressed right now, but I will be back out there soon. That’s a promise! Please know it wasn’t an easy call, but it’s definitely for the best. All other shows are still moving forward as planned. See you soon.”
Her candid admission underscores the challenging reality that artists often face when balancing their health with the demands of their careers.
Victoria Monét has previously opened up about her struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that has significantly impacted her life. In a previous post, she shared:
“Welp… I gained weight, and it went a lot of places: [My] face, arms, tummy, and most effectively… [that a**],” she wrote on Instagram.
“I usually am so critical and frustrated by it because PCOS has me really messed up, but optimistically, at least now there [are] two moons on stage.”
PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts. The condition can affect various aspects of a woman’s health, including weight gain, which Monét has openly discussed.
The decision to cancel shows is never easy, especially for an artist as dedicated to her craft and her fans as Victoria Monét. However, this decision highlights the importance of prioritizing health over commitments. By openly discussing her health struggles, Monét is not only advocating for her well-being but is also inspiring others who may be facing similar challenges.
Fans and the music community have rallied around Monét, expressing their understanding and support for her decision.
Victoria Monét’s openness about her health issues and her decision to cancel upcoming shows serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of self-care and prioritizing health. As fans, we can show our support by understanding her decision, spreading her music, and raising awareness about PCOS.
