Yet now Leona Lewis, 40, has admitted her condition isn’t getting better and confessed she was “heartbroken” to call off her December 21 concert.

She told ticket-holders: “To those planning to join me tonight.

“I’m heartbroken to share another difficult update, that I will not be able to perform tonight’s show (dec 21).

“I was really hoping I’d be able to perform, but unfortunately I’m still not well enough to take to the stage.

“I’m continuing to rest and follow medical advice so I can fully recover and protect my voice.

“At this stage, I’m expected to be cleared to perform by Christmas Eve and please know I’m doing everything I can to make that happen.”

“I’m endlessly grateful to have the most loving, supportive fans.

‘The love will be there waiting for you when you come back. The biggest of hugs sweetheart xxxx”

SHOWS SCRAPPED

Just a day before, in another statement on Instagram, the star sadly shared that she wouldn’t be able to perform due to deteriorating health.

On an all black background, Leona penned: “To my lovely fans, I’m heartbroken to share that I will not be able to perform tomorrow night’s show (Dec 20).

“I have been battling a sore throat for the past few days and while I tried pushing through tonight’s show, it has only left me feeling worse.

“I will be spending this time recovering and on vocal rest so I can come back stronger and give you all the show you deserve.”

Leona continued to express how difficult it was for her to make the decision to “disappoint” her fans.

“This was not an easy decision and I’m truly so gutted to disappoint any of you who had plans to attend.

“Thank you for your patience, kindness and understanding.

“I’m so grateful for you all always showing up for me and love each of you so much.

“I’ll see you back under the stars very soon.

“xx Leona.”
