We don’t know if a doctor put their hands over her liver, but Phoebe Bridgers has been sidelined due to another organ-related ailment.
The “Lost Boys” artist announced in an Instagram Story Wednesday that she’s been diagnosed with appendicitis, forcing her to postpone her run of intimate U.K. shows.
“I got appendicitis for my birthday,” Bridgers wrote in the post. “Everything in the UK this week will have to move but I’ll make it up to you!!!!”
Bridgers performed in London on Monday, which was her birthday, and was scheduled to play shows on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
While appendicitis is not a great birthday present, Bridgers got a better one from Taylor Swift, who praised her new album, Lost Weekend, as an “absolute triumph.”
Bridgers will launch a sold-out U.S. arena tour in support of Lost Weekend in September.
