She added in the comments: "All bookings for the original dates remain valid for the rescheduled shows. If unfortunately you are unable to attend for any reason a refund is available from your point of purchase."

Taking to Instagram to announce the bad news after their gig at The O2 London 18th November, the King singer wrote: "I’m so sorry to say that after an X ray it seems I was dancing on a broken foot last night.

"It is not in my nature to postpone a show, and certainly not a UK tour, but I’m in pain and as dancers know, dancing on an injury is not a good idea. And have been told not to perform to avoid further damage."
