"Hey you guys... Happy Holidays to each and every one of you.I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring. Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your tickets.

"Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time. There will be no further comment. I love you all so much and am ever grateful for your understanding and your love. Gon' b alright (sic)."
Her huge tour began in August this year and was set to finish in June, 2016. The next scheduled date was 9 January (16) at the Pepsi Centre in Denver, Colorado.
