“I’m so disappointed to miss what was meant to be my first show back, but I’m sure you’ll all have a fantastic night with Nathan as always. I can’t wait to see you all very soon.
“Thank you for your continued support and understanding, it truly means the world.
“Looks like my new year is starting in March instead.”
