Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Country star Carly Pearce took to social media Thursday morning to reveal that she has been diagnosed with a heart condition, pericarditis, and that while she plans to fulfill the upcoming dates on a current tour, her performances will be toned down due to doctor’s orders. “We have all decided that it is in my best interest as I’m healing to alter my shows a little bit,” Pearce said in a video posted on social media. “So if my shows look a little bit different, just know it’s because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now.

And the doesn’t mean I’m not going to be completely fine, it just means right now I’ve got to really take this seriously.” She asked fans for “a little bit of grace” as she re-tunes her performances to account for her condition.

It’s slated to continue for another month, including a date at L.A.’s Forum on June 28, wrapping up in Sacramento the following night.
