The ”I Love It” singer took to social media to share a statement, “I’m devastated to inform you that I have to cancel my shows in both Brussels and Utrecht today and tomorrow, I have completely lost my voice and despite trying many techniques to revive it, it is not returning.”
The singer continued to reassure fans that she is receiving treatment, “I am under doctors orders to go on both vocal and physical rest in the hope that my voice will come back as soon as possible. I wish that there was a way that I could perform for you guys, but singing is literally impossible right now and the show is too physical to tackle whilst my glands are flared up and in pain.” Charli XCX then proceeded to apologise to fans and stated that updates will follow, “I am so sorry to let you down, I really am. I was so looking forward to these next 2 shows in Europe. I will keep you updated with my progress and hopefully with rest and the right medication I will be back fighting fit.”
