Back in June 2024, Carly Pearce released her fourth studio album with Hummingbird. The album came with songs like “Truck on Fire”, “Rock Paper Scissors”, and even a collaboration with Chris Stapleton on “We Don’t Fight Anymore.” With the album gaining praise from fans, Pearce decided to hit the road with her Hummingbird World Tour. Going international, Pearce appeared excited when she touched down in the U.K. The only problem, the singer fell ill. While taking the advice from doctors, Pearce offered fans an update about her future shows.

On Monday, Pearce jumped on Twitter to share a picture of her lying in bed, surrounded by medicine and a few water bottles. She wrote, “Yall, the last few days I have been battling feeling sick but yesterday the flu hit me right in the face. God has a funny sense of humor sometimes… these shows in the UK are some of the biggest sold out shows of my career & of course this would happen, right?!”

Manchester, Belfast, Glasgow & Dublin- if the shows look a little different, know that I promise to show up each night giving you my all. I love y’all so much & DONT GET THIS FLU.

Carly Pearce Breaks Up Fight While Sick
Managing to find her way to the stage at the O2 Academy in Birmingham, England, Pearce explained to the crowd about her ongoing sickness. She promised to still perform but was going to offer a simplistic version of her show. While fans loved the concert, the singer needed to pause her show for a moment to stop a few girls from fighting.
Able to see the commotion from the stage, Pearce stopped her set to address the situation. Not remotely mad, the singer hoped to bring the girls together as she said, “We’re all here to just have a good night… we’re all friends at my shows. And girl, I am sick and I ain’t got time for it, okay? So just, please. I love you, I’m just saying, please don’t make everybody around you angry, okay? Ain’t nobody got time for that.”
Charging through her tour in the UK, Pearce won’t even let the flu stop her from entertaining fans and expanding her career.
