Cher has once again delayed the start of the second leg of her "Dressed to Kill" tour. The tour, which was originally planned to resume on September 11 but was postponed until October 4 after the singer fell ill with viral infection, will now open on November 9 in Lubbock, Texas.
Cher announced the unfortunate news and explained the delay in a statement posted on her website. "Cher is on the mend from her recent illness, but her doctors have advised that her recovery will take longer than previously expected," it reads. New dates for the axed shows will be announced on the star's website next week.
"The initial viral infection affected her kidneys, which has delayed Cher's recovery time," a representative for the 68-year-old songstress said in the statement. "Cher's doctors have advised her to extend her rest period and expect her to make a full recovery."
Cher herself added, "I want to thank all my fans for their good wishes, patience and prayers. The doctors assure me that I will be totally well by Nov. 9 and ready to perform my show. I'm truly sorry that I can't get on the stage sooner. But the good news is that I'm on the mend and feeling better every day. I can't wait to see you all."
