Joan Jett has cancelled the final two scheduled performances by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts for 2026 after sustaining a vertebral fracture that required surgical treatment. Her team announced the cancellation through a since-deleted Instagram post, citing the need to prioritise her healing process over her September concert dates.

The rock icon, now 67, has maintained an active touring career throughout her decades-long music career following her prominence in The Runaways and subsequent solo work. The extent of her recovery period and any impact on future touring plans remain unclear, though the severity of orthopaedic surgery suggests a significant healing commitment ahead.
