Ailing Jerry Hall Withdraws from the West End Revival of High Society

Jerry Hall is out of the West End revival of High Society indefinitely. She left the tuner citing "glandular fever" and is currently not scheduled to return, according to The Scotsman.

"It is with great sadness that I have to leave the cast of High Society as I am suffering from Epstein Barr Virus glandular fever, which I first fell ill with last year," Hall said in a statement. "My doctor has said that I must have a period of complete rest, but that I may be able to return to the production in the future and I am determined to return before the end of the run. I have had such a wonderful experience with a great cast, and I wish them all the very best."

Hall, High Society's biggest star, has been out of the show since last week. This is not the first time she has cited glandular fever as the cause for leaving a show--last year she left the one-woman show My Darlin' Janey, in which she was announced to play Calamity Jane, before performances began for the same reason. The production was canceled after her withdrawal.

Understudy Ali McInnes has been performing the role of Mother Lord in High Society since Hall's departure and will continue to do so.
