Paloma Faith has had to cancel a landmark event in her career.
The songstress has taken to Instagram to share her regret with fans after she received medical advice urging her to rest her voice. Paloma told her followers that she was "physically unable to sing" after contracting a virus which led to laryngitis. In an address to her online followers, she said: "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," she said.
The Better Than This singer continued: "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.

Her post was soon flooded with comments from fans sending their love and best wishes to Paloma. One penned: "I'm very sad to hear this, but of course you must do what's best. I know you're disappointed. Take care of yourself always." A second penned: "You wouldn’t cancel unless you had to! Get well soon."
"Take care of your health! We can wait! We love you so much," commented another. Meanwhile, a fourth sympathetic fan penned: "Awh I hope you get better soon, your health comes first and we all know you wouldn’t cancel if it wasn’t necessary. Sending love."
Speaking previously to the Mirror, the singer who has performances at the likes of Thetford Forest as part of Forest Live and Margate Summer Series coming up said of touring: "It's my favourite thing to do," she said of touring, before saying: "It's the reason why I do this job, being on stage, connecting with people who are there to see me and sing my songs with me.
"It's just the most privileged situation to be in and the only time I'm not anxious, weirdly. I find life quite overwhelming, daily life, on stage, I never feel overwhelmed, I feel like I'm in my right place, I'm really looking forward to it."
