“Buffalo, I am so, so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight,” she said.Despite pushing through the first few songs, the “Peter Pan” singer admitted she was too sick to continue. “I am sicker than I’m trying to be, and I did not want to let anyone down tonight… but I never want to give you a half-ass show,” she shared.Ballerini reassured fans that she would return to Buffalo and reschedule other affected shows. She postponed her February 6 Buffalo concert, February 7 Pittsburgh concert, and February 8 Toronto show to the end of her tour. The new dates are April 11 for Buffalo, April 12 for Pittsburgh, and April 13 for Toronto—making these the final three performances of her tour.
