Kylie Minogue has been forced to postpone a string of her tour dates after ‘succumbing to an infection’.
The Padam Padam singer, 57, has been on the road as part of her Tension tour, and recently completed her run of UK dates – including concerts at the O2 in London, and dates in Glasgow, Newcastle and Sheffield.
However, taking to Instagram, she revealed that she came down with laryngitis while travelling, meaning her upcoming gigs in Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia will be pushed back.
‘Hi Lovers, as some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of The Tension Tour,’ she began. ‘I made it over the finish line (Yay) but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis).
‘I’ve tried my best to recover fast to start our next run of shows on Monday but I’m afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform my best for you.
‘I’m so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled.’


‘Please keep hold of your tickets, we’re doing our very best to reschedule the dates and will update you very soon on that,’ she added.
‘Thank you for understanding – you know I love you all. And I LOVE THIS SHOW! And I’ll miss you next week. And, I can’t wait to see you. Love Kylie xxx.’
Kylie was due to perform at the Uber Arena in Berlin on Monday night, before rounding out the week with stops in Lodz, Lithuania and Estonia.
It is not clear when these dates will be rescheduled to.
She will next be hitting the stage in Finland on June 23, and continuing her performances in Sweden, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland.
In August, the Spinning Around singer will be taking the Tension tour to Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Colombia – ending the run with three dates across Mexico.
