”I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future,” she wrote in a statement.
“Thank you for all the love and support. I’m so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know. Obviously you will be entitled to a full refund.
“I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger.”

She opened up about her health journey in an interview with The Guardian, where she said that she has ”had to be away a bit” and that her recovery is “not linear, it’s up and down, but it’s down to dysregulation of dopamine.”
The vocalist was slated to play shows across the UK, Canada, North America and Europe over the next six months, including at renowned music festival Lollapalooza in South America.
