Floor Jansen Nightwish 's performances scheduled for July 6th and 8th in the Netherlands due to health problems. The vocalist, who recently overcame breast cancer , is pregnant with her second child .
"With great regret, I have to cancel my shows on July 6th and 8th. The reason is that my health is not good enough to perform the shows responsibly. I was exhausted after my last show with Nightwish in Finland [on June 17th]. So much so that I fainted and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. There, the doctors determined that my baby is healthy and I don't have any serious illness," the singer wrote on social media last Tuesday, the 4th.
“However, I was so tired that continuing to work is no longer an option. The Nightwish show in Oslo had to be cancelled because of this. That was 3 weeks ago. I was hoping to regain enough energy to still perform those wonderful solo shows in the Netherlands. But unfortunately, that is not the case. To ensure my health and that of my baby, I need to rest and focus entirely on my recovery and the final stage of my pregnancy.”
Previously, Nightwish also cancelled their scheduled show in Norway on June 22nd. The band released a statement supporting Jansen's decision and revealing that recording and rehearsals for their next album will begin soon.
