Demi Lovato conceded she might have “pushed too hard” with her It’s Not That Deep Tour in an announcement detailing why she needed to remove several concert dates: to “safeguard [her] well-being.” Given the “29” singer’s past health tribulations, fans questioned whether she was encountering anything new throughout her latest musical phase.
“I am extremely thrilled to return to the stage this year and see you in numerous cities as I can,” Demi expressed in a social media message in February 2026 to her devoted followers. “While starting preparations for the tour, I came to the realization that I have stretched what is realistically achievable. To preserve my health, and to ensure I can give you my best at each performance, I need to incorporate additional time for rejuvenation and practice, and ultimately, adjust to a schedule with more downtime that will enable me to navigate the entire duration of the tour.”
She then announced the tour locations that were removed from the schedule: Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Denver, stating she was “extremely saddened to announce that I will no longer be able to see you during this tour, and I sincerely apologize to those who had planned to be present.” Demi included that reimbursement for these locations would be “automatically processed.”
“I am incredibly excited for this tour and am anticipating witnessing many of your faces harmonizing with me!” Demi concluded her message. “Thank you for your unwavering support. I cherish you, and I eagerly await seeing you in the near future.”
