Wilson shared the news with fans in a statement. She said that doctors have removed a cancerous growth, and the singer is on the mend. However, she needs to undergo chemotherapy and needs the time away from the road "in order to fully recover."
The singer plans to announce rescheduled tour dates soon. In total, there are more than 50 shows affected by the change. The news comes after Wilson decided to cancel the European leg of the tour a few months back. At the time, the singer said she had "a time-sensitive but routine procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks."
