Paloma Faith expressed how devastated she was after canceling her London show.

In her latest Instagram post, the "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" singer confirmed she would not push through with her scheduled show at the Eventim Apollo, citing health issues. The stop was part of her U.K. tour.

Why Did Paloma Faith Cancel Her London Show?

According to Faith, her doctors advised her to have a vocal rest as she could not physically sing due to laryngitis. The health issue caused her voice box inflammation.

"I am utterly devastated, performing for you all is my favourite thing in the world," she said after revealing that her laryngitis was caused by a virus she contracted. "I also want to acknowledge those of you that flew in from other countries or travelled long distances. I am very very sad and very sorry. It's been taken out of my hands, I have been told I must listen to the medical professionals, so that I am able to return to perform for you, without causing long term damage."

The "Never Tear Us Apart" songstress has yet to confirm whether she could make it to her Cardiff and Brighton shows.
