Cinema VinesKehlani has pulled two stops from their North American tour after a sudden health issue forced the singer into the hospital overnight. The artist explained on Instagram that they had been unable to swallow and were in severe pain, and a doctor has not yet cleared them to perform. The canceled dates were scheduled for August 26 at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey, and August 27 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.
In a post dated August 26, Kehlani wrote, “After two off days feeling completely normal… I’ve been up all night unable to swallow & in so much pain. I just left the hospital & am not cleared to sing for the next two shows. I’m so sorry Camden & DC. My team is working on a solution.” They added that they are now recovering at home and expect to return to the stage in Richmond, Virginia, on August 29.
No specific diagnosis has been released, and the singer has said they are doing everything possible to keep their health in check, though it remains uncertain when they will be fit to perform again. Fans are advised to keep an eye on official ticketing channels for updates.
On August 27, Kehlani addressed a separate issue when Ticketmaster mistakenly listed the rescheduled shows as occurring in 2028. The artist clarified that the dates had not been moved to that year, noting that “Ticketmaster, which i have zero control over, has a typo that says rescheduled to 2028. They are rescheduled for when MY flyer states, which is like next week.” The tour will resume with the August 29 show in Richmond, and the North American leg is slated to continue through October 3, ending in San Francisco.
