Jessica Lea Mayfield Cancels Tour After Car Crash

Brooklyn Vegan has reported that alt-country singer-songwriter Jessica Lea Mayfield has had to cancel her tour dates for October due to the injuries she sustained in car crash. Mayfield was set to tour North America on the heels of her recently released album Sorry is Gone, which came out at the end of September. However, the injuries from the crash have made it impossible to do so. Mayfield has released a statement on her Facebook page detailing why the dates had to be canceled:

“Hi everyone. Last month, I sustained multiple serious injuries in a car accident where I was rear ended by someone who had fallen asleep at the wheel. I’ve been hoping that I’d be able to recover in time to play these upcoming October tour dates. Unfortunately, I still have a ways to go. A recent doctor’s appointment revealed some neurological issues along with new injuries in my neck, ribs, knees and hips that will require more physical therapy and rehabilitation. Suffice it to say, this has put me under financial, mental and physical stress. I am absolutely heartbroken, but I have to cancel my October tour dates. This is an extremely tough decision to make, and I’m so thankful to have such a supportive band, manager, label and booking team behind me that values my well being above everything else. To those who bought tickets to these shows, thank you so so much! I’m really looking forward to seeing all of you ASAP! <3”

Mayfield had been on quite the streak so far this year, releasing captivating music videos for the songs “Meadow” and “Sorry Is Gone” and drumming up a load of anticipation for her new album. Fans will have to hope that the dates eventually get rescheduled once Mayfield returns to full health.

The tour dates are posted below with a strikethrough to indicate the canceled shows. For now, it appears that part of the tour will continue.
