With not a lick of makeup on and her eyes red from crying, the 28-year-old broke down as she admitted she’d pushed herself to breaking point.
‘I can’t do my show tonight – my second show here. I’m really, really sorry. I’ve had a cold for a couple of days and I’ve been pushing through it and I did my show last night and I loved it, but I pushed too hard and my cold has gotten the better of me,’ the mum-of-one explained. ‘As you can hear, even if I did the show it wouldn’t be very good.
‘I’ve pushed through a lot of things, but I’ve been trying to sing all morning and warming up, and nothing’s really happening. It’s the last thing I want to do but I have to look after myself.
‘I will reschedule this show, I promise you. I will come back and I’ll smash it for you.’
Two hours earlier, the 28-year-old shared two more photos that showed her looking exhausted and unwell following the previous night's show in Phoenix, Arizona
