Halsey just canceled a concert. Are her Jersey homecoming shows still on?
Halsey canceled a concert this week due to 'vocal issues' — but her Jersey homecoming shows this weekend are still on. "Missing Maine broke my heart, so Jersey we have to put it back together .... !!!!" said Halsey June 5 on her Instagram story. Upcoming shows for Halsey's For My Last Trick Tour are Friday at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, and Saturday, June 7, at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden. Halsey, aka 30-year-old Ashley Nicolette Frangipane of the Washington borough of Warren County, canceled her June 4 performance at the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor Maine hours before the show. 'I woke up this morning and my voice was just ... gone,' wrote Halsey on a Wednesday Instagram story. 'I saw my doctor and they said singing tonight could cause injury if i don't let my vocal cords rest. So — we have to cancel tonight's show in Bangor. 'I'm devastated. there's nothing that would keep me off of a stage besides not being able to sing. I would try to push through anything else, but this is the one situation I can't. 'The good news is that with time to rest, doctors have advised I'll be able to continue the rest of the tour as planned. Canceling tonight is the only way to make sure that happens.' The venue also stated that the show is canceled and tickets will be refunded from the point of purchase. 'We wish Halsey a speedy recovery and we hope to see her in Maine soon,' said Waterfront Concerts of Maine. Tickets for Halsey's Jersey shows this weekend begin at $42 via Ticketmaster. The scheduled 32-city Halsey tour kicked off May 10 at the Toyota Pavilion in Concord, California, and wraps up July 6 at the Yaamava Theater in Highland, California. Halsey announced the tour with a fatally fun video where she's apparently prepping for her funeral. Her last tour was five years ago as she has battled multiple illnesses in recent years. She's spoken publicly about battles with endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Sjogren's syndrome and mast cell activation syndrome. In a social media post, she suggested that she's being treated for lupus and leukemia when she linked to the Lupus Research Alliance, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Halsey's latest album, 'The Great Impersonator,' was released in October 2024. Her hits include 'Bad at Love,' 'Eastside,' 'Without Me' and 'Closer.'
