Tina Arena cancels UK leg of her world tour to ‘prioritise healing’ after postponing her Australian dates due to mystery illness
Tina Arena has canceled the UK leg of her Love Saves world tour as she continues to battle a mystery illness.
The Australian pop star, 55, who previously expressed her concerns after postponing several Australian shows to “prioritize her health,” announced last week that her planned performance in London on November 24 has also been scrapped.
An email to ticket holders included a statement from Arena apologizing for having to make such a difficult decision.
“I understand the disappointment you feel because I feel it too,” she wrote.
‘Performing live is one of my favorite things in the world. I love seeing your smiling faces in the audience as we spend precious moments together, surrounded by love and the healing power of music.”

Arena cited her health as the reason for her decision, but did not provide specific information about the nature of her illness.
“As much as I wanted to keep going, I realized that the greatest gift I can give to all of you is to honor my body and prioritize my healing,” the Chains singer wrote.
“So when I come back to the stage, I will bring you the best of me. You deserve nothing less. I promise I’ll be back!… Until we meet again,” Arena concluded.

Earlier this month, Arena announced on social media that she was postponing the remaining dates of her Australian tour at the last minute due to illness, telling fans to hold on to their tickets for the future.
Arena had opened the Love Saves world tour in Sydney on October 7, before performing in Perth the following evening.
However, she pulled the plug on the remainder of her Down Under tour a day before her next scheduled show on the Gold Coast on October 13.
