Megan Skiendiel won’t be performing at full capacity when she returns to the stage following her concussion.
The rising pop group KATSEYE’s scheduled stops in Chicago last Thursday (05.11.26) and Minneapolis on Saturday (07.11.26) were postponed while the singer focuses on her recovery, extending a difficult week for the band after a last-minute cancellation in Detroit.
Fans were informed that the dates at Chicago’s United Center and Minneapolis’ Target Center would no longer go ahead as planned, with Megan needing more time away from the stage following medical advice.
The girls are due to return to the stage in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday night (10.11.26). However, Megan has revealed she will be performing with “limited” movement as she continues to “heal”.
In an update on the band’s Instagram Story on Monday (09.11.26), she wrote: “I wanted to give you a little update and let you know that while I’m feeling so much better, 1 am still actively recovering from my concussion so l’ll need to take some precautions as I continue to heal.
“For the Austin show, l’ll be performing on a modified schedule.
“This means reduced choreography, less intense movement, and taking breaks as needed. I won’t be going full out just yet! My doctors have recommended these limitations for now and l’Il need to be reassessed before returning to unrestricted performances.
“That said, I’m so excited to be back on stage with the girls and see all of you in Austin! I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be there, even if I have to do things a little differently this time.”
Thanking their fans for their support, she concluded: “Thank you for all the love, patience and support. It means more than you know. I love you guys!”
Concertgoers in Detroit were left disappointed when KATSEYE pulled out of a performance at Little Caesars Arena shortly before showtime. The group initially announced only that Megan was unwell, but the singer later confirmed she had suffered a concussion.
Addressing fans directly on social media, Megan admitted she had wanted to continue with the tour but was told by doctors that returning too soon could jeopardise her recovery.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: “I am so sorry that our Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis shows have been postponed. I currently have a concussion and am doing everything I possibly can to recover from it so I can be on stage for you all again.”
The 20-year-old star explained she explored every possibility before accepting she would have to step back temporarily.
She continued: “I wanted to try my best to still make the show happen, but I’ve been strongly advised by medical professionals that I need to take this time to fully recover and come back safely.”
KATSEYE acknowledged the frustration caused by the postponements and assured fans they are working on replacement dates, urging ticket holders to keep their tickets until further details are announced. The group has said the original tickets will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
Megan said she was “devastated” by the decision but promised to return to the road as soon as she is healthy enough to perform again.
The setback comes amid an already challenging period for KATSEYE. Earlier this year, Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza temporarily stepped back from band commitments to prioritise their health and wellbeing. Manon went on hiatus in February, while Sophia stepped away in August and is expected to rejoin the group in January 2027.
