Prioritising health over work, singer Demi Lovato has opted to postpone her upcoming "It's Not That Deep Tour" and has also cancelled five performances.
In a candid update, the singer shared that she realised she had "overextended what may be possible" and needed to protect her wellbeing to ensure a successful run when the tour finally launches this April.
The tour is now scheduled to officially kick off on April 13 in Orlando, Florida, instead of April 10 and automatic refunds have been issued for the cancelled stops in Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Denver.
"I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can," she wrote in a message addressed to her fans, known as Lovatics. "While starting to prepare for the tour, I realised that I have overextended what may be possible," she stated.

The “Cool For the Summer” singer explained that the decision was made to safeguard her mental and physical well-being.
"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," she added.
"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," she said.
She assured fans that tickets purchased for the original Orlando date would be honoured for the new date.
"I am so excited for this tour and am looking forward to seeing so many of your faces singing with me! Thank you for your support always. I love you, and I cannot wait to see you soon," Lovato concluded.
