Russian-American singer-songwriter Regina Spektor has canceled her remaining 2022 tour dates, owing to a "bad case of Covid." Spector, who kick-started her tour on June 25 was to conclude it on October 27, but had to cancel 10 of her remaining fall tour dates.

In a post on Instagram, Spector shared:

“After being so careful and miraculously avoiding it for over 2.5 years, I came down with a bad case of Covid. I’m so sorry to everyone who bought tickets and was coming to see me in their town. I have gone from feeling bad, to worse, to terrible. I’ve lost my voice.”

She further added, noting:

“I am a bit delirious from fever, so in advance I apologize if this note isn’t too coherent. I have had a really hard time lately, and all your love has been helping me so much. I hope mine reaches you as well. For now– I will have to sing to you from past recordings, and we will reschedule the shows for when the theaters are able to have me back.”
