The Chicks postponed a show in Los Angeles this week.

The country trio announced to fans on Monday, Nov. 2, that they had to reschedule their latest show — which had been set to take place that evening — “due to illness.” The band is currently on a sold-out tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2006 album Taking the Long Way.

“The Chicks’ performance tonight [on] Monday, Nov. 2, at Dolby Theatre has been rescheduled due to illness,” the band wrote on Instagram. “The rescheduled date is Wednesday, Nov. 4. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date.”

“If you’re unable to attend the new date, refunds will be available at your point of purchase. If you can attend the rescheduled date, no action is required. The Chicks apologize for any inconvenience,” the message concluded.

The band didn’t disclose which band member had fallen ill.

PEOPLE has reached out to The Chicks’ representatives for comment.

The Chicks kicked off their Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour on Sept. 30 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Mich. The band has been celebrating two decades of its five-time Grammy-winning 2006 album, which includes their hit song “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

During their Oct. 10 show in New York City, The Chicks looked back at their 2006 album and the single “Not Ready to Make Nice,” which was released that year and written in response to vocalist Natalie Maines’ comments three years prior about then-President George W. Bush and her disapproval of the Iraq War.

Maines told the crowd at a London concert in March 2003, “Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence. And we’re ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.” The comments received major backlash at the time, with many fans boycotting the band.

Maines, 57, looked back on the moment during the band’s Oct. 10 show, while also sharing her thoughts on current-President Donald Trump.

“It’s been 20 years. Now, we’re looking back in retrospect on this album that was inspired by, yes, my brilliant words,” she told the crowd. “Let me start the night off right and just say — I’m ashamed the president of the United States is from the United States.”
