Lucy Hale is being forced to cancel a string of concerts due to a recent strain on her vocal cords. Canceled shows will run through the new year.

Hale's Road Between Tour was set to kick off in Boston on Jan. 29 and already had sold-out dates in New York City. Now, it looks like the singer's first headlining tour may have to be postponed until later in 2015.
