“I know lots of you have been wondering how I’ve been doing.

As a result, the singer canceled the remainder of her performances for the tour this year "in order to fully recover."

"To the ticket buyers, I really do wish we could do these gigs. Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025," Wilson announced in the statement. "My team is getting those details sorted & we'll let you know the plan as soon as we can."
