Shania Twain's Rock This Country tour has come to a screeching halt this week.

The country superstar has had to pull the plug on two upcoming concert dates after doctors diagnosed her with having a respiratory infection.

According to a message posted on her Facebook earlier today, the dates at the Verizon Wireless Arena on Oct. 6 in Manchester and the Times Union Center show the following day in Albany have both been cancelled.

"The concert dates are unable to be rescheduled due to Shania Twain's current touring schedule. All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. Shania Twain apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause her fans and greatly appreciates their understanding."

The post also explains how medical professionals advised Twain to take a few days of time off to rest from her infection.

As of now, the Rock This Country tour is slated to kick right back on up on Oct. 9 at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City.

Earlier this year, after announcing her 48-city tour, the singer opened up about why this string of concerts will be extra special for her.

"I'm finally, after 11 years, I'm going back on tour," she shared on Good Morning America. "It's been a long time, 11 years. Finally going back on the road. This is a very, very important time in my life on the road. This is going to be a big, big tour for me because it's going to be my last. This is my last tour. I'm going to make the most of it, let's put it that way."

Get well, Shania!
