Joan Jett is taking a break from the road as she heals from a recent orthopedic surgery for a fractured vertebrae.
On Wednesday, the Blackhearts frontwoman’s team announced that Jett will not be able to perform her upcoming September tour dates in Costa Mesa, California and Louisville, Kentucky.
“Following a recent injury, Joan Jett has undergone orthopedic surgery on a fractured vertebrae and will begin the necessary healing process,” said Jett’s team in a statement, according to People. “In close consultation with her doctors, Joan will not be able to perform at her forthcoming September scheduled shows in Costa Mesa, CA on September 5th and in Louisville, KY on September 24th.
“While Joan hates to disappoint fans, she will be taking this time to focus on physical therapy and healing. She’s looking forward to delivering tremendous concerts for many years to come,” the statement added.
Last month, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts wrapped up their first headlining U.K. tour in 16 years, before returning to the states for their scheduled stops next month at the Orange County Fair in California and the Bourbon & Beyond Festival in Kentucky.
