Elle King Suffers Concussion, Cancels String of Radio Shows

On Thursday (Dec. 8), Elle King revealed a recent spill left her with a concussion. As a result, the “Ex’s & Oh’s” star has been forced to pull out of a handful of radio shows.

“Just wanted to check in with a quick update and apologize to my fans in Tampa, Detroit, and Seattle,” King shared in a post on her Twitter account. “I share your disappointment that I had to cancel my radio shows this week. No one ever wants to pull out of shows, especially me. I live for performing.”

She revealed the accident happened while preparing a bottle to feed her son, Lucky Levi, late at night. “I slipped down the stairs making a bottle in the middle of the night, knocked my ass out, resulting in a concussion,” she shared. “I tried to push and played 3 shows, but the travel, lights, all of it only exacerbated things.”

King’s upcoming radio appearances were to be in Tampa, Detroit, and Seattle, however, she will instead be spending those dates in recovery ahead of her A-Freakin-Men tour.
