Jessie J cancels remaining tour dates due to illness
Quote:
The newest judge on The Voice Australia Jessie J has cancelled all her remaining Australian tour dates.
She was due to perform in Melbourne tonight but cancelled remaining dates in Adelaide on Wednesday and Perth on Friday due to a "sudden illness". The shows have been entirely cancelled, not postponed.
It is the second time that she has cancelled her show in Perth, back in 2012 she cancelled due to "Vocal exhaustion".
A statement from her tour promoter Frontier: "Due to sudden illness I have unfortunately been medically advised to cancel my three remaining shows in Australia, so I can give myself time to rest and get better. I am extremely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause my fans in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide. If I could magic myself better and be there I would. I can't wait to perform for you all in the future. Thank you for your support. Jessica X".
Ticket holders will be refunded.
Jessie J played "nearly sold out" shows in Brisbane and Sydney last week. Frontier Touring denies suggestions within the industry that tickets sales were poor in remaining cities.
Jessie J is currently filming auditions for The Voice Australia in Sydney, due to start later this year. She currently has a song, Masterpiece, getting widespread radio airplay and charting in the ARIA Top 20.
