Victoria Monét took to Instagram on Monday to share she is forced to cancel three of her upcoming scheduled performances due to an ongoing health issue.
The Grammy Award-winning artist wrote:
I am gutted to share that I will no longer be able to perform at Governors Ball (NYC), Roots Picnic (Philadelphia) or Blavity (Nashville) this June.
I am so sorry!!
Candidly I have been dealing with some ongoing health issues that have to be addressed right now, but I will be back out there soon, that’s a promise!
Please know it wasn’t an easy call but it’s definitely for the best.
All other shows are still moving forward as planned. See you soon 🤎

In April, Victoria Monét revealed she has polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS.
She shared a photo from Coachella via her Instagram Story and noted that she has “gained a lot of weight.”
Victoria added, “PCOS has me really messed up.”
PCOS is a hormone imbalance affecting about 1 in 10 women of childbearing age, according to the U.S. Office on Women’s Health.
In addition to weight gain, PCOS symptoms can include irregular periods, excessive facial hair, and acne.
The main reason for weight gain in PCOS is believed to be insulin resistance, which also makes it hard to lose weight, research shows.
Other symptoms include thinning hair, darkened skin patches, and skin tags in the armpits or neck, according to the Office on Women’s Health.
Please join me in sending love and prayers to Victoria Monét.
