The 34-year-old took to Instagram Thursday morning with an update for fans sharing she has recently been diagnosed with pericarditis after “dealing with some health issues.”

“I have always been transparent and honest about every part of my life, so I feel like this deserves the same honesty,” she shared. “You guys know that I’ve been dealing with some health issues, and through that, I have developed something called pericarditis, which is a heart issue.”

With her new album, Hummingbird , set to release next week (June 7), Pearce acknowledged shows and promotion surrounding the album might look a little different that what her fans are used to as she must keep her heart rate “under control.”

“I’ve been working with doctors and talking to my cardiologist, and I still wanna be out on the road. It’s really important to me, but we have all decided that it is in my best interest as I’m healing to alter my shows a little bit.”

She continued, “If my shows look a little bit different, just know it’s because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now. And the doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be completely fine, it just means right now I’ve gotta really take this seriously. So, if you’re coming to the shows, if you are gonna be a part of any of the amazing things we have going on with Hummingbird , it is all gonna be great. It just might look a little different. So, I’m asking for a little bit of grace.”

To close, Pearce preached the importance of taking care of your body and hopes her being transparent with fans will encourage them to listen to their own bodies and seek help if needed.

“Truly, more importantly, if any of you are dealing with any kind of health stuff, or aren’t — I’m a young, healthy person that really watches what I eat and exercises, and this happened to me — and so, I just wanna use my platform to tell you to take care of your body and listen to it,” she expressed. “And just know that if it’s trying to tell you something, it’s gonna tell you. I love you guys, and I’ll see you soon.”
