IRISH singer Lisa McHugh has been forced to cancel her gig as she’s going through a “truly traumatic time” with her sick baby.
The country singer and her husband Nathan Khan welcomed Hallie into the world in July 2024 and the pair have another son, Milo, who was born in 2022.

The 36-year-old’s baby girl was rushed to hospital this week after contracting respiratory syncytial virus, also known as RSV, and bronchiolitis.
Lisa has said she’s “had the toughest and most heartbreaking few days in hospital” and admitted that it has been “tough” to see her youngest daughter “so weak”.
The mum-of-two was supposed to be performing at Ulster Hall, Belfast next Saturday on November 30.
However, Lisa has had to cancel the gig as she needs to look after her four-month-old who is still sick in hospital.
She took to Instagram this evening to issue the statement that said: “After what has been a truly traumatic and extremely worrying time for my family over the last couple of weeks, and as it stands, still being unsure on when Hallie will be well enough to get home from hospital – we unfortunately will have to reschedule our show in the Ulster Hall on the 30th of November.
“As disappointed as I am to do this, right now I have to put my baby, her wellbeing and my family first.
“And as well as that, I want to be able to give all of you the performance you truly deserve.”
The gig has now been rescheduled for next year on Saturday, March 1, 2025 and all tickets will still be valid for the new date.
There is also a full refund available for those who cannot attend the rescheduled date.
Lisa “apologised for any inconvenience caused” and thanked her fans for their prayers.
The Irish star’s friends and fans all flocked to the comment section with their support and love.
Aoife wrote: “100% the right decision Lisa. Hoping you get little Hallie home soon. Thinking of you all.”
Karen commented: “Lots of well wishes to Hallie. Every parent understands.”
Katharine said: “Wishing Hallie a speedy recovery.”
STAR’S AGONY
Danielle added: “Your family comes first really hope the wee woman gets well soon sending all my love.”
Lisa urged her fans to “speak up” for their babies saying: “With today being World Premature Day and our baby girl not only a premature baby, but especially the way she is right now, I really felt like it was so important to raise awareness about both.
“Because after the last few days I can safely say I will not be afraid to speak up and protect my babies in future if we’re ever in the position instead of protecting someone else’s feelings.
“For anyone thats feeling or has felt the same as I did, please don’t, you have every right to speak up to protect your baby from illness.
“Do whatever you can because I really wouldn’t wish it on any baby, child or parent to go through after how rough the last few days have been.
“They can’t speak up for or protect themselves, it’s our job as their parents to do it for them.”
Lisa added: “Keep our angel in your prayers, she’s a little fighter as she’s shown us before but they all help and are all appreciated.”
