Tina Arena has canceled the UK leg of her Love Saves world tour as she continues to battle a mysterious illness.
The Australian pop star, 55, who previously raised concerns after she postponed several Australian shows “to prioritize her health”, announced last week that her planned London performance on November 24 had also been scrapped.
An email to ticket holders included a statement from Arena apologizing for having to make such a difficult decision.
“I understand the disappointment you feel because I feel it too,” she wrote.
“Performing live is one of my favorite things in the world – I love seeing your smiling faces in the crowd as we spend precious moments together, surrounded by love and the healing power of music.”

Arena cited her health as the reason for her decision, but did not provide any specific information about the nature of her illness.
“As much as I wanted to move on, I realized that the greatest gift I can give to all of you is to honor my body and prioritize my healing,” the Chains singer wrote.
“So when I return to the stage, I will show you the best of me.” You deserve nothing less. “I promise I’ll be back! … Until we meet again,” Arena concluded.

Earlier this month, Arena announced via social media that she was postponing the remaining dates of her Australian tour at the last minute due to illness and urged fans to save their tickets for the future.
Arena had opened the Love Saves world tour in Sydney on October 7 before performing in Perth the following evening.
However, a day before her next scheduled show on the Gold Coast on October 13, she canceled the remainder of her Down Under tour.
