Allie X US Tour Canceled: Singer’s Health Worsening?

It seems fans have to wait for Allie X to recover from her condition before seeing her live as the singer announced that she would be canceling her upcoming US tour due to her illness.

Taking to her official Twitter account, the "Susie Save Your Love" songstress announced the devastating news, saying she's terribly saddened to cancel her scheduled shows in the United States.

Although she didn't reveal her actual medical condition, Allie X said the autoimmune illness that inspired her song "Cape God" has "flared up" and left her bedridden.

One of the photos she shared online was her lying in a hospital bed.

In a lengthy statement written in a notes app, the "Hello" hitmaker said she's under a doctor's care and has been sicker than she's been in the past 20 years.

Allie X knows that she has fans who have a chronic illness and understand what she's going through, and for those who don't, she said she wanted to keep it real.

"Sometimes, despite all my best efforts, my body stops working," she wrote. (via NME)

The only thing she could do was lie still, breathe through the pain she was experiencing, and wait for weeks or months until she could work her "limp up to a run again."

The singer added that she has big ambitions and visions for her career, but she's not giving them up despite being far from an "ideal candidate for a pop singer."

Concluding her post, Allie X apologizes to the people she disappointed and hopes to make it up with her recorded music and live performances when they "become feasible again."

"Keep on rocking and go eat something delicious. I miss food," the singer wrote.

The singer was supposed to embark on a North American and Canadian Tour. She was scheduled to kick off her first show in San Francisco on April 9 before wrapping up in Los Angeles on May 14.

Allie X's 'Cape God' Was Inspired by Her Chronic Illness

In a previous interview with Nylon Magazine, Allie X, whose real name is Alexandra Ashley Hughes, said she's suffering from a chronic illness that affected her body throughout her teenage years.

Aside from struggling physically, her condition also left her feeling alienated from her peers, and it was a traumatic experience for her.

She said her body became something she didn't have control over or recognize.

When her friends started dating, she felt isolated because she wasn't a part of that.

"I just felt like I was hiding through all of high school, and I was very scared of what was going on in my body and in my mind. I sort of dissociated," she added.
