Leann Rimes Hospitalized In Ireland

Leann Rimes was hospitalized in Ireland on Thursday due to a lingering cough prompting the cancellation of her Dublin concert.
The Blue singer has been battling a nasty cough over the past few weeks, but a lingering cough landed the superstar in a Dublin emergency room.

Addressing fans on Twitter, she wrote,

“Never thought I’d see the Er in Dublin. I have coughed myself into pain. The spasm is intense. Being human sucks sometimes… I’m coughing and injured myself. I’m feeling better otherwise. SUPEr frustrating… it’s cause of the meds I’m on for my psoriasis… it lowers my immune system and takes longer to get well.”

The singer was forced to cancel her gig at Vicar Street venue, afterwards she tweeted,

“Thank you to all my fantastic, understanding, loving fans here in Ireland.”

Rimes’s rep told E! News the star had a “resurgence of a viral infection that she has been struggling with the past two weeks” and is “currently on vocal rest in her hotel room under a doctor’s care and a vocal specialist”.
