Due to
ongoing complications brought on by a case of pneumonia, five-time Grammy©
Award-winning jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall has been forced to postpone
her scheduled album release, and US Fall Tour. Diana Krall’s new studio album
“Wallflower” (Verve Records) was due for North American release on October 21st
and the US leg of her “Wallflower World Tour” was to kick off in Phoenix, AZ on
November 7th. “Wallflower” is now set for release on Verve Records on February
3, 2015.
Diana’s
condition has become much more chronic than first anticipated, and she is
unable to travel or engage in any promotional or touring activities for at
least another 6 weeks to 2 months.
Mrs.
Krall is extremely disappointed to have to announce this today, but also
realizes that, upon advice of her doctors, this is the only course of action
available to her at this time to ensure a full recovery.
“I’m
deeply saddened that I will have to postpone the release of my new album
‘Wallflower” and the “Wallflower U.S Fall Tour” until next year. I’ve been
battling a severe case of pneumonia and am under doctor’s orders to rest for
the next few months in order to regain my strength and good health.
Performing
is both a privilege and a joy for me. When I go out on stage I want to be able
to give it everything. Taking this time to rest and recuperate will allow me to
do that. It is frustrating to be so close to the record release and have to
delay but I am very proud of this record and want to be able to give you all my
very best when we finally present this music to you. Thank you so much for your
understanding.” – Diana Krall
New tour
dates for the “Wallflower World Tour” will be announced in the coming weeks.
