Lucy Hale was pretty pumped about her short 2015 tour, which was supposed to fill the space between now and filming for the next season of Pretty Little Liars. But she's unfortunately been knocked out of the gigs due to a vocal chord issue.
"I am devastated that I can't be out performing for my fans who have been incredibly supportive," she said in a statement (via Radio.com). "But I have been advised not to embark on a tour at this time. You know I hate letting y'all down and thank you for your understanding."
A couple weeks ago, she was full of hope for the tour.
"I'm so excited," Hale told Rolling Stone. "We've done a radio tour and radio shows, but now we get to do actual shows and do the entire album for people who have been supporting me."
She'll get to at least skip the negative aspects of performing live.
"It's the most vulnerable you get," she said. "It gives people more leeway to judge you and judge what you're doing. When you work on an album, you put your blood, sweat and tears into it and you want people to appreciate it."
We're not sure how this impacts the recording process for her third album, as she said she'd be working on it in the coming months.
"I'm very proud of Road Between, but I'm two years older and feel like I'm in a completely different head space," Hale said. "I'm always thinking 10 steps ahead. I'm already thinking of album No. 3."
