Ciara has been forced to cancel her March 19 concert at the brand new USO center in Ford Hood, Texas because of concerns over the spreading of the coronavirus. The concert has been rescheduled for this summer.
“I am disappointed I won’t be able to return this month to the place where I was born, Ft. Hood, Texas, and put on the amazing show we had planned; however, I look forward to being able to bring it to you at a later date in 2020,” she said in a statement.
The 34-year-old singer, who is pregnant added; “I want to thank the USO and the entire community at Ft. Hood for extending your hospitality to myself and my team. I urge everyone to be diligent in taking steps to stay healthy and safe.”
“With the continued spread of the coronavirus throughout the U.S., as a pregnant woman, my doctors have advised me to limit travel and large group gatherings.”
Ciara is not the only artist to take precautions.
K pop mega group BTS canceled their tour dates in South Korea and rock band Green Day pulled out of several concerts in various Asian countries.
