Actress-singer Rumer Willis' Broadway debut has been delayed by a month as she struggles to bounce back from a foot injury.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter was set to hit the stage as sexy murderess Roxie Hart in Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre in New York from August 18, but she's still not strong enough after suffering a stress fracture in her right foot in June while performing in the "Dancing With the Stars Live! Perfect 10 Tour", reported New York Post.

Rumer, who won TV talent show "Dancing With the Stars" earlier this year, will now make her debut in the musical on September 14.
 

A statement suggests Rumer, 26, is far from recovered and requires "further rehabilitation".

Singer Brandy Norwood has just completed her tenure as Roxie Hart on Broadway, and stage veteran Amy Spanger is currently playing the role. She will conclude her stint on August 16, and Dylis Croman will step in for Rumer.
