The star was due to kick off The Blade Tour in MACon, Georgia on 1 October (15), but that date has since been pulled, while five other shows in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois have also been scrapped.

Apologising for the concert changes in a message on Facebook.com, Monroe writes, "I am so sorry and will post rescheduled dates as they appear".

The shows will now begin in New York on 27 October (15).

Monroe is still scheduled to perform with her pal Miranda Lambert on the superstar's Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour in Georgia and North Carolina on 2 and 3 October (15), respectively.
