JoanJett canceled her upcoming concerts due to medical issues.
The singer-songwriter, known as both the "Queen of Rock and Roll" and "Godmother of Punk," is recovering from a back injury. The 67-year-old will not perform her two upcoming shows.
Jett's team posted a statement about the situation to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, August 5.
“Following a recent injury, Joan Jett has undergone orthopedic surgery on a fractured vertebrae and will begin the necessary healing process,” the statement read. “In close consultation with her doctors, Joan will not be able to perform at her forthcoming September scheduled shows in Costa Mesa, CA on September 5th and in Louisville, KY on September 24th.”
Jett, alongside her band, the Blackhearts, was scheduled to perform at the Orange County Fair in California and the Bourbon & Beyond Festival in Kentucky.
“While Joan hates to disappoint fans, she will be taking this time to focus on physical therapy and healing,” the statement continued. “She’s looking forward to delivering tremendous concerts for many years to come.”
Neither Jett nor her team provided further details about her injury.
The “Bad Reputation” singer hit the road in May. Jett and her band performed in Europe in July, marking the group's first major tour since the death of drummer ThommyPrice in October 2025. She shared a video of the tour on Instagram earlier this week with the caption “Thanks for the summer love Europe, can’t wait to come back ?."
Jett spoke to Far Out magazine in April about her love for touring.
“To be part of people’s interior dialogue is pretty special and a unique thing," she shared "That’s what I love most, is to be out on stage visibly seeing people enjoying themselves, and I’m looking forward to it very much.”
The "Cherry Bomb" singer reflected on being on the road in her late 60s.
“I know too much now. There’s just a thing that comes when you’re young, and I was definitely naive about a lot of things,” Jett explained.
“You know, you got to have common sense, and you got to be able to take care of yourself,” she said. “I wish I knew then what I know now, you know.”
