Raitt’s official Facebook page announced the news on Monday, explaining the musician’s “medical situation” demands she undergoes a surgery soon. She will therefore be unable to join Taylor in the first portion of their tour.

It’s expected that she will recover in full, however, as her prognosis is “good.” The 68-year-old Grammy winner plans to return for the tour’s “second leg,” which will span the United States in June and Europe in July.

Moreover, Raitt herself expressed her disappointment, saying, “I’m deeply sorry to have to disappoint my fans, James and colleagues with these cancellations. I was so looking forward to our tour, but I’m very grateful that the doctors feel this can be taken care of with surgery. I’m feeling strong and am in great hands with my wonderful team.”
