Kelly Clarkson was forced to scrap several of her tour stops due to vocal rest. The concerts affected by the cancellation are two shows in Vienna, two in Tampa, and one each in West Palm Beach, Raleigh, and Camden. All tickets will be refunded at the original point of purchase.

"So bummed that I have to cancel some of my tour dates," she says. "This kills me, but doctors are saying I need to rest my voice! I can't wait to get healthy and see y'all back on the road soon. I hate canceling and I am truly sorry to my fans that have been excited to see this show. Please know that I never cancel anything unless it's absolutely necessary."

Kelly Clarkson has been on the road since July to support her seventh studio album "Piece by Piece" which was released in February. She will resume the tour on October 1 at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa and will jet off to Europe in November after completing the North American leg.

Last month, she announced she's pregnant. It will be her second child with husband Brandon Blackstock. Their first child, a daughter named River Rose Blackstock, was born in June 2014.
