Meghan Trainor cancels remaining 2016 tour dates due to illness

Meghan Trainor has reportedly fallen ill and been put on "strict vocal rest", the reason for which she will no longer perform for the rest of the year.

The 22-year-old singer recently took to her official Instagram account to announce she was not feeling "any better" and was advised a complete vocal rest for the next two weeks, which means her remaining 2016 tour dates in December have been canceled.

A picture of her announcement read, "I posted last week that I wasn't feeling great, but was powering through the best that I could. Unfortunately, I am not feeling any better and after leaving the doctor today, I have been put on a strict vocal rest for the next two weeks."

"This absolutely kills me because I was so excited to see all of you on the road. I'm going to go home and rest so I can get back to see you all as soon as I can. I love you so much and am so appreciative of your love and support that you constantly show me. You mean everything to me. Can't wait to see you in 2017! Love MTRAIN," she wrote.

The 'All About That Bass' crooner had in recent days performed at 102.7 KIIS-FM's 'Jingle Ball 2016' in Los Angeles and at the 99.7-FM NOW! 'Triple Ho Show 7.0' concert in San Jose, California.

In the summer of 2015, Trainor was reported to have suffered a vocal cord hemorrhage and also contracted bronchitis and canceled the rest of her MTrain tour to undergo vocal cord surgery.
