Ella Langley Cancels Shows For Month Of August To Rest & Recover: “Feeling More Run Down That Ever”

Taking a step back.

This morning, Ella Langley shared a pretty lengthy post on Instagram announcing that she will be taking the rest of August off from the road to “rest and focus on health — mind, body, and heart.”

She didn’t get overly specific as to her reasoning, aside from saying she’s been fighting sickness, explaining that, in general, she feels overwhelmed and needs some time off. She also quoted the Bible verse Matthew 11:28, which talks about being “weary and burdened,” so it would seem to me this might have more to do with something mental and emotional, in addition to any physical sickness she might be fighting.

Of course, like on the road is very tough, and there could be many reasons as to why she made this decision, which I’m sure she didn’t do without a lot of thought and consideration because most artists will do anything before they cancel a show. Ella is currently opening for Riley Green as direct support on his Damn Country Music tour, in addition to opening several shows for Morgan Wallen on his I’m The Problem stadium tour.

Ella has had a heck of a year already, and earlier this summer, she scored her second #1 hit with “Weren’t For the Wind,” following her mega viral hit with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me.”

Of course, in addition to all of her success with music, Ella has been dealing with rumors about her personal life, which really hit a fever pitch around the time of the ACM Awards in May. Rumors started swirling about what may or may not be going on between Ella and Riley Green, and while she obviously didn’t say anything about him or anything having to do with him in her statement, I’m sure all the fan theories are being concocted right now about how he might be involved.

Ella has been thrust into the spotlight this year, and she mentioned around the time of the ACM Awards, where she had a huge night, how hard it was for her mentally so I think there was a lot of factors that went into this decision, and you can read her full statement here:

“I’m so sad to be posting this. The past several weeks have been tough. I’ve been fighting sickness and feeling more run down that ever. After a lot of thought, I’ve made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health — mind, body, and heart.

I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can’t do that without first taking care of myself. Sometimes we have to listen when our bodies and hearts are telling us to slow down. I’m so grateful for your understanding and your love — it truly means the world to me. ‘Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’ Matthew 11:28.”

She also shared the list of shows she will be missing with Riley Green and Morgan Wallen, but says she will be back on the road in September:

Hopefully, Ella can get the rest that she needs and be back at full capacity come September.

Riley’s Damn Country Music tour rolls onto Canada next week, though it’s unclear who will be his direct support in Ella’s absence as she takes the month off.
