Lavigne, 23, had to call off shows in San Diego and Phoenix after coming down with acute laryngitis. “My voice is so shot,” she writes.

I am so sorry! I have been on the road for 60 days straight. I have had the flu 3 times and I never get sick, it just keeps going around. I think I am just run down. I just played 4 shows in a row in Texas (which is a lot for the vocals) and woke up in Vegas Tuesday with no voice. I thought I was gonna have to cancel that show, but I made it through…..barely! I still went on stage in Vegas and gave it my all, but unfortunately its interfering with my throat now. I had to eliminate songs.

We drove home yesterday and I went to my throat doctor. He stuck a camera down my throat….ewwww, I gagged!!! It was kinda funny though.” The singer reveals that she almost pulled out of an April 29 show at Las Vegas’s the Pearl at the Palms– but soldiered on. Writes Lavigne: “I made it through…..barely! I still went on stage in Vegas and gave it my all.”

Lavigne’s tour is expected to resume May 3 in Anaheim, Calif.
