Reneé Rapp has postponed the rest of her UK tour after being told she could “risk long-term injury” to her vocal cords.
The ‘Mean Girls’ star admits she has struggled throughout most of the leg of her ‘Snow Hard Feelings’ jaunt after she completed her show at the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Monday (04.03.24) and admits she’s feeling “burnt [out]”.
In a social media statement, she said: “Guys I’m sure you could tell but my voice was gone after last night’s show.
I’ve been sick for the majority of the European leg of this tour, and without any recovery time I can’t seem to shake it. I’m being told that I need to rest my voice and not sing through for risk of long-term injury.”
She continued: “I want to keep delivering high quality shows [for] you.
“This tour is everything to me but holy [redacted] am I burnt and I have to prioritise my health in this moment.
“Love you and appreciate your understanding endlessly.”
As a result, she is having to postpone her concerts in Southampton at The Brook on Thursday (07.03.24).
However, she has vowed to reschedule them for when she is in the UK for Reading and Leeds in August.
The 24-year-old star previously insisted the only thing she cares about is her music, and she only agreed to reprise her Broadway role as Regina George in the musical movie version of ‘Mean Girls’ if producers Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels promised to help her advance with her music.
She told The Cut: “I was like, I know you m************ do SNL. So I will do it if you agree to help my music career for the rest of my life,. And they have. It was just always as a means to make this happen. It took a minute.”
Rapp released her debut album, ‘Snow Angel’, in 2023, which made it into the top 10 of the Official UK Albums Chart.
