  "account": "Country singer Brandi Carlile has postponed her UK and European tour, revealing on social media that personal reasons are the cause. The original tour, slated to commence in October, is now set to begin in March 2027. Carlile expressed deep anxiety over her decision, acknowledging that it may disappoint and inconvenience fans, particularly those planning international travel. She emphasized her desire to see friends in the UK and her efforts to avoid rescheduling the tour. The change impacts several dates: a Lisbon show is canceled, while new dates in Wolverhampton and Copenhagen have been added. Refunds will be provided to Lisbon ticket holders, and those with changed venue tickets in England will receive full refunds and priority presale access to the new dates. The U.S. leg of the tour remains unaffected, commencing next week in Maine. The tour promotes Carlile's eighth studio album, Returning to Myself, released in October 2025. Carlile, a multiple Grammy winner known for her work in Americana, has garnered numerous accolades for albums like By the Way, I Forgive You (2018) and In These Silent Days (2021). She is also a co-founder of the Highwomen, whose debut topped the country albums chart in 2019.",
