In a poignant social media statement, Andress, 32, bared her soul, candidly confessing, "I'm not here to sugarcoat it, folks. I was under the influence last night." She then offered a heartfelt apology, acknowledging, "I'm taking the necessary step today to check myself into a facility, seeking the assistance I desperately need. That wasn't me up on stage last night. I deeply apologize to Major League Baseball, every one of my fans, and this great nation that I hold so dear, for that particular interpretation. I'll keep you posted on the rehab journey – I've heard whispers it can be quite the adventure."

While Atlantic Records, Andress's label, respectfully declined Yahoo Entertainment's request for comment, a spokesperson confirmed that the singer's upcoming concerts in Nashville (July 17) and Denver (July 24) have been sorrowfully canceled, adding that "venue authorities are actively communicating with ticket holders regarding refunds."

Adding to the anticipation, Andress's much-awaited single, "Colorado 9," set to premiere on July 24, now hangs in the balance, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her return to the spotlight, stronger and more resilient than ever.
