Miranda Lambert Cancels Remainder of Tour, Announces New Album

Billboard.com reports that Miranda Lambert has canceled the last three dates of her Keeper of the Flame Tour, which was scheduled to wrap up in her home state of Texas this weekend. Live Nation announced that doctors have ordered mandatory vocal rest for the singer.

Lambert had been set to perform Thursday in Corpus Christi, Friday in Austin, and Saturday in San Antonio. Last summer, Lambert canceled a show in Calgary, Canada, due to vocal cord inflammation.

Although she had to cancel her shows, Lambert was able to announced the name and release date of her next album.

A suspenseful 47-second black-and-white video posted to her Twitter account Tuesday shows the singer sitting in her trailer, back to the camera, writing in a notebook. The message is her exciting album news: "The Weight of These Wings. Nov. 18."

The announcement follows her video for "Vice," which debuted in July as the first single from her upcoming sixth studio album.

It has been more than two years since she released her previous album, Platinum, which won the Grammy for Best Country Album in 2015.

Miranda Lambert is an American country music singer and songwriter. She is best known as a solo artist, and is a member of the Pistol Annies. Lambert has been honored by the Grammy Awards, the Academy of Country Music Awards, and the Country Music Association Awards.
