“We’ve been off the road for a couple weeks now… mainly in LA,” Hayley wrote. “Thankfully got some down time but we put some work in too. It felt good to get back into a studio. More of that once we get home to Nashville.”

She continued, “I can hardly believe I don’t cough all day and night anymore. My stomach is still f**ked from 10 kinds of medication… I’m just happy to be resting more. When I was feeling my worst, I couldn’t do much but just sleep and lay around.”

The rocker watched lots of TV while recovering.

“I watched all of Yellowjackets, 3 or 4 music docs, They Cloned Tyrone, A Good Person (never cried so much or stared blankly across my living room for longer after a movie was over)… but mostly I just scrolled around on my phone… to a degree that has been, to put it nicely, DISGUSTING,” she shared.

“After successfully divorcing myself from social media for quite a long time — I have become, once again, chronically online,” Hayley joked. “Anyone else know this pain? For me, it always starts out sweet. I love to see photos or random anecdotes from people who’ve come out to our shows… I love the stupid inside jokes and even the sticky parasocial connection. And when I am not para-lurking, I am watching dog videos or watching people I don’t know organize their s**t. But I also see lots of news, especially from back home. It’s literally always sad or rage-inducing. Never positive. Depressing.”

She noted, “Now that the bulk of our touring for the year is over, I’m hoping to dive head first into creating some better routines…We’ve been craving that for a while now. Not only the creative process but the layer(s) of insulation that can come with the creative process. For me, when we get into this mode it always feels nice to disappear in a way.

“Maybe this time I will be able to find balance between the disappearing and yet not completely shutting out the world,” Hayley reflected. “But probably not.”

The powerhouse singer apologized to fans and thanked them when she had to cancel dates. “Refunds will be available at point of purchase,” she said in a statement. “We are so sorry to all of you who were so patient with us as we rescheduled these and likely rearranged travel plans to still come out. I physically can not go on. I know this isn’t great news for anyone. Thank you so much for your continued support.”
