Jessie Baylin Cancels Tour Dates To Be With Ill Grandmother

Jessie Baylin checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@jessiebaylin) on Sunday (January 25), talking about her grandmother’s battle with leukemia and the shows she’ll have to miss to be by her side. The Los Angeles based singer songwriter tells readers:

Hello my sweets… I am writing this blog from my iPhone so I apologize if it is short and a bit messy. I just landed in NYC… I flew back home because my grandma Dill (like the pickle) has been diagnosed with leukemia. She and I have a very special relationship. She’s one of my best friends and I need to be with her and my family during this difficult emotional time.. She has started her second round of chemo and I are here to help her heal. I have so much hope in my heart that she will go into remission, though she is elderly and the disease is aggressive, I know that she does not want to leave this world yet. I am praying all day everyday. I’m going to be missing tonight’s show in Spokane, as well as Boise and Teton Village (Jackson Hole)… I’ll be back for the remainder of the tour starting the 30th in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Thank you for understanding and I promise you, cross my heart, I’ll be back to ur city soon to sing you songs… All my love, J
