“I understand the disappointment you feel, because I feel it too. Performing live is one of my favourite things in the world – I love to see your smiling faces in the crowd as we spend precious moments together surrounded by love and the healing power of music.
She hinted towards health issues causing the last-minute cancellation, sharing, “As much as I wanted to soldier on, I realised that the biggest gift I can give you all is to honour my body and prioritise my healing. So when I do return to the stage, I’ll be bringing you the best of me. You deserve nothing less.
“I promise I’ll be back!… Until we meet again,” she signed off.

The singer has also cancelled her dates for the US, Canada, and Paris, and has postponed the dates for her Australian show after performing just one show that was the official start of her world tour.
Posting a black-and-white photo of her band, she told her fans: “For the very first time, I have to postpone the rest of my Australian shows. Believe me when I say, it was a hard decision. But remember, health always comes first. Therefore, to ensure it won’t happen again… here we are.
“Please hold on to your tickets, there will be more information soon,” she assured fans, “I wish you all the very best, and my sincere apologies for any inconveniences.”
