LeAnn Rimes was forced to reschedule two upcoming concerts after she said her doctor found a "bleed" on her vocal cord.

"It completely and utterly breaks my heart to have to announce that I will be rescheduling this weekend's shows," the "How Do I Live" singer wrote in a handwritten note posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

"While sick with the flu, my doctor discovered a bleed on my vocal chord, caused by the violent cough that came along with being sick," she continued. "I am getting better, but I am unable to talk or sing...doctor's orders!"

"I am devastated to have to do this as there was nothing more that I was looking forward to than celebrating the holidays with you," the two-time Grammy winner added.

In the comments section, fellow country crooner Tanya Tucker told Rimes to "get better soon honey" while Lisa Loeb said she was "sending healing" her way.
