She announced it and explained it to the fans herself Elisa through one of his stories on Instagram: “The doctor advised me to wait, to avoid the risk of relapses. For this reason, with a heavy weight on me, I also had to move the Florence dates. I am so sorry for the people I have caused an inconvenience, it is truly a pity but I hope to see you again at the concerts that I have repositioned in January”. But what is this health problem the singer refers to? It is the paroxysmal positional vertigoa disease that is not serious but causes symptoms disabling for a person who has to live on stage and perform amid lights and people. However, delicate as always, Elisa wants to reiterate that there is really nothing dangerous at the moment: “I want to say that I feel better and better: the dizziness and nausea are almost completely gone, so I plan to resume my tour and Roma. Thanks to all those who wished me well and to all the people who are worrying about me and my health”.
