In a statement shared on social media, she wrote: “It is with great regret that I have had to postpone my show tonight in London. My team are working on a date to re-schedule the show and as soon as that is set I will let you all know.
“I have been diagnosed with laryngitis caused by a virus and I am physically unable to sing. So far the tour has been one of the greatest experiences of my career. I am utterly devastated, performing for you all is my favourite thing in the world.
“I also want to acknowledge those of you that flew in from other countries or travelled long distances. I am very very sad and very sorry. It’s been taken out of my hands, I have been told I must listen to the medical professionals, so that I am able to return to perform for you, without causing long term damage.
“We will know in the next 24hrs if I am able to continue with Cardiff & Brighton. All my Love Paloma xxx.”
The singer is currently on the road in support of her sixth studio album, ‘The Glorification Of Sadness’, featuring the hit single How You Leave A Man.
In a review of the album, RETROPOP called ‘The Glorification Of Sadness‘ a “confident, self-assured and authentic” offering from Faith.
