"I got appendicitis for my birthday," Bridgers wrote. "Everything in the UK this week will have to move but I'll make it up to you!!!!"

Currently, Bridgers' upcoming shows in Kingston (London), Brighton, and Bristol have all been rescheduled. Each of those events was set to be a small, intimate show with just a handful of fans. Bridgers had enjoyed the first show of this run on her Birthday, performing at London's Union Chapel.

Some of Bridgers' fans were initially alerted to the shows being postponed via a post on X.

"TONIGHT'S PHOEBE BRIDGERS SHOWS ARE OFF," the post from Banquet Records began. "as on her insta story (pictured), Phoebe is unwell - get well soon!! - so the Kingston events will have to move. We, of course, wish her all the best and apologize for any disappointment. We're working closely with her global teams, and will update as soon as we can."

Bridgers is currently riding high after the recent release of her third studio album earlier this month. She recently dedicated the work to her late father. As such, is fair to assume that she will want to be back on the road as soon as possible.

Fans Share Their Well Wishes With Phoebe Bridgers

Upon learning of Bridgers' health issues, fans took the opportuinty to share their well-wishes in the comments section of Banquet Records' post.

"Wishing her well! PLEASE please let existing ticket holders' transfer tickets to new dates rather than refund," one fan replied.

Another fan simply asked for the social account to pass on their well wishes. "Wish her a speedy recovery!" they wrote.

Banquet Records may have endured similar issues with shows in the past, as another user pleaded with the organizers to postpone the show, rather than having to fight for tickets a second time.

"Please just postpone it," they said. "I can't fight for tickets again."

Currently, there's no information regarding when Bridgers will be back on the road. Hopefully, she can make a speedy recovery, and her fans can celebrate her latest album with her.
