“As you may have heard, I’m dealing with some unexpected health challenges,” the singer captioned a photo of a handwritten message via Instagram Thursday.

“It’s been a scary few days but I can feel your prayers & can’t stop thinking about you. I’m feeling stronger now & hopeful but unfortunately there are still some things to uncover.”

The 30-year-old noted that her “health must come first” despite her plans to promote her new EP, “Tori.”

However, she added, “Until I see you again, I still want you to enjoy a project that represents the happy place I’ve been in the last few years. I won’t let this hurdle prevent the music from being yours on Friday!”

Kelly concluded by thanking her followers for their “love and care,” which has left her “truly overwhelmed.”

The songwriter captioned the social media upload with “deuteronomy 31:8,” which reads, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
