Sharing with fans about her strained vocal cords, the 'Round and Round' singer writes on her Facebook, 'I will do a 2 hour meet and greet in each city that I missed when I come back into town.'

Forced to cancel several upcoming concert dates because of strained vocal cords, Selena Gomez has taken it to her Facebook to assure fans she will make up for it. On Wednesday morning, July 28, the "Naturally" singer posted a note in which she apologized for having to cancel the shows and promised for a consolation.

"We are doing the best we can to reschedule all of the shows and I will do a 2 hour meet and greet in each city that I missed when I come back into town," the 18-year-old songstress wrote in the note. "We are also trying to see who was planning on coming to the shows so we can give you all tickets to the rescheduled shows."

Before making the promise, the star of "Wizards of Waverly Place" shared she got sick after promoting for "Ramona and Beezus" with co-star Joey King. "After my 2 week promo tour with Joey I started to feel pain in my throat from talking too much," she noted. "As soon as I came home I went to see my doctor and he said that I had damaged my vocal chords and that I had acid reflex (probably from pickles)."

"He put me on medication and wanted to see me in a few days. When I went back my voice had gotten much worse. He then told me that I had to cancel my shows and be on vocal rest for a week," Selena continued. "I felt so horrible that I couldn't perform. I begged the doctor to give me more medication to last me through these shows, he said if I went I could lose my voice completely and have permanent damage. I had to give up and agree to not go but I WILL make it up."

Using the note, the "Monte Carlo" actress announced that her Columbus, Ohio gig has already been rescheduled for November 6. She also confirmed that she won't perform at Delaware State Fair on July 18, Lilith Fair Tour in Holmdel, New Jersey on July 31 and Lilith Fair Tour in Hartford, Connecticut on August 1.

Having said that she felt horrible having to cancel her shows, Selena expressed her apologies to fans near the end of the note. "I am SO sorry about all of this and really hope I can see you all when I'm better," she wrote. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. :( I love you all so much and can't wait to see you. Thank you for understanding. It means so much."
