Legendary rocker Joan Jett, who recently underwent surgery for a fractured vertebra, has canceled a couple of shows in September.

Jett was scheduled to perform in Costa Mesa, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, in September.

A social media post from Joan’s team reads, “Following a recent injury, Joan Jett has undergone orthopedic surgery on a fractured vertebrae and will begin the necessary healing process. In close consultation with her doctors, Joan 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.”

“While Joan hates to disappoint fans, she will be taking this time to focus on physical therapy and healing,” the post continues. “She’s looking forward to delivering tremendous concerts for many years to come.”

Meanwhile Joan Jett & The Blackhearts are working to reissue their seminal 1981 album I Love Rock ‘N Roll as a 45th-anniversary edition. The updated set will be available on CD and opaque sky blue vinyl on August 28 via Blackheart Records.
