Fiona Apple Cancels Tour to Care for Dying Dog

Never one to worry about what people think of her, Fiona Apple announced today that she was cancelling the last leg of her world tour in order to take care of her sick, dying dog.
Apple posted a letter on her website detailing the situation, explaining that she adopted the dog 14 years ago, rescuing it from a life of dogfighting in Echo Park.


She wrote, "I am not the woman who puts her career ahead of love and friendship. I am the woman who stays home and bakes tilapia for my dearest, oldest friend.  I am staying home, and I am listening to her snore and wheeze, and reveling in the swampiest, most awful breath that ever emanated from an angel. And I am asking for your blessing.
The dog, Janet, is suffering from Addison's disease and has a tumor in her chest.


Apple canceled a series of tour dates in South America, but the letter doesn't state which performances have been canceled. Instead, the tour dates on her website have been replaced by a four-page letter, which implies that Apple intends to reschedule the shows.


While she is at home with the dog, she will have to regularly administer injections of Cortisol, a steroid hormone, and because of the dog's fragile condition, she can't travel while doing so.


The letter asks fans to "meet a little while later," so we can only guess that Apple is just taking some time off to deal with her ailing pup before getting back at it.
