American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler reportedly “heading for collapse”

Country singer Kellie Pickler maybe suffering from health problems it has been reported. Star magazine reports that insiders claim she is “on the verge of collapse.”

 

Pickler, 21, is currently on the “Bonfires and Amplifiers” tour with famous country singer Brad Paisley. Kellie has allegedly lost 20 pounds since last year and is under pressure to lose more.

 

“She’s under a great deal of pressure to be slender and skinny. Kellie’s trying to lose weight, but that’s near impossible when she’s working 14 hours a day,” an ‘associate’ says. “Something has to give, and unfortunately it’s her health.”

 

Pickler has cancelled two shows in Colorado and one in New Mexico. “She needs to eat and rest more. There’s a real fear she won’t hold up,” a source says.

 

Kellie’s rep says Pickler cancelled the shows “because of low blood sugar” but says, “She is well.”
