Mandy Moore Cancels Remaining 2022 Tour Dates To Focus On Pregnancy
Mandy Moore has decided to get off the road to focus on her pregnancy. The 38-year-old singer-actress announced Tuesday that she is canceling the remaining dates of her "In Real Life" 2022 shows so she could prioritize her and her baby's health.
"It is with a heavy heart and much consideration that I have to let you all know that I am cancelling my remaining show dates in 2022," she began her official announcement, which she uploaded on her Instagram page. "It has been an honor and an absolute dream to return to the stage again this past month, performing for all of you."
"When we booked these shows, I wasn't pregnant and although I truly thought I could power through, the way we are traveling (long hours on the bus and not getting proper rest) has caught up, taken its toll, and made it feel too challenging to proceed," she continued. "I know that I have to put my family and my health (and the health of my baby) first and the best place for me to be right now is at home."
The "This Is Us" star then assured ticket-holders that refunds would be available at the place of purchase.
Moore's "In Real Life" 2022 tour kickstarted in Georgia on June 10. Prior to her pregnancy announcement, the singer-actress was scheduled to perform through the end of July in Texas, Illinois, Minneapolis and Utah, among other stops.
The tour's title is based on her latest album and lead single. Interestingly, Moore told her fans about the idea behind the said album in March, ahead of its May release. "'In Real Life' was a direct response to digging for some creative catharsis during quarantine AND getting ready to become a mother. It's meant to touch on the cliches this next chapter brings- everything makes sense in a new and profound way," she said back then.
Moore and her musician husband, Taylor Goldsmith, tied the knot in 2018. They welcomed their first son, August, in February 2021.
The "A Walk to Remember" star shared that she's pregnant with her second child in an Instagram post dated June 3. "Baby Boy Goldsmith #2 coming this fall! Gus is gonna be the BEST big brother!!" she wrote at the time.
She debuted her small baby bump in an Instagram Story not long after, noting, "I was really sick for my first trimester again but happy to be feeling better so I can move my body… Can't wait to get back to Cali and hike in this."
