“Over the past few months, I have been undergoing treatments prescribed by my doctor and doing my best to learn more about this invisible disease.

The announcement of the second postponement was also met with disappointment by Australian fans.
‘Of course, the best for your personal situation…but Australia? Two cancellations? I might not be available next time so I might need a refund – sorry,’ said one disappointed fan.
Another responded with a similar, yet supportive answer.
“So sad that our show has to be postponed again, but family always comes first. Sending you lots of love and can’t wait to see you in New Zealand soon,” they wrote.
FLETCHER’s Australian tour in July, in support of her 2024 sophomore album In Search Of The Antidote, was due to kick off in Perth on Tuesday before heading to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
