LeAnn Rimes may be facing a health setback, but that hasn’t stopped her from celebrating the anniversary of her fifth studio album, Sittin’ on Top of the World, which turned 28 on May 5, 2026.
Taking to Instagram on the evening of May 5, the actress and pop-country superstar, 43, shared a video post of herself singing the lyrics to her fan-favorite hit song, “Commitment,” which appears as the opening track on 1998’s Sittin’ on Top of the World. The video offers fans a sneak peek into Rimes’ rehearsals as she prepares to get back on the road after postponing a series of concerts due to “Covid-related severe laryngitis.”
Alongside the clip, the Mississippi native gave fans an update on her condition, writing, “[I’m] still working my way through voice rest, trying to get myself back to health as quickly as possible.”

Rimes’ post comes just days after she was forced to postpone a series of her 30 Years of Blue Tour dates due to what she described as “severe illness.” Spokane, Washington and Seattle, Washington were the first round of shows that have been rescheduled, with Rimes moving the dates to March 31 and June 2, respectively.
