Iconic rockstar Joan Jett made a shocking announcement that she would be canceling shows due to a health scare. “Following a recent injury, Joan Jett has undergone orthopedic surgery on a fractured vertebrae and will begin the necessary healing process,” the statement, posted Wednesday to her Instagram story, reads. The statement also shared that, according to doctors’ orders, the 67-year-old star “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.” The “I Love Rock and Roll” singer had her big break with the teenage punk rock girl band, The Runaways, in the 70s. After their split, she founded her own band, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, with whom she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. “She’s looking forward to delivering tremendous concerts for many years to come,” the statement concluded.
