Charli XCX Cancels Japan Shows After Falling 'Seriously Ill'

Charli XCX has cancelled at least two shows in Japan on doctor's orders.

"I have been seriously ill for the past couple of days with really bad tonsillitis and fever," the singer tells fans on social media.

"I haven't been able to leave my hotel room at all."

"I passed out when going through security in Beijing and I've since had injections/been on antibiotics but nothing is making me better."

"I can't even explain to you how excited I was to be in Japan."

"This morning the doctor told me I cannot perform without doing more damage to my voice and my health."

"I am so so sorry to summersonic, KPP, nakata and mostly all of the angels who were looking forward to my show. I will come back to Japan ASAP. I love you and I'm sorry," she concludes.

In 2015, Charli cancelled the second leg of her US tour with Bleachers unexpectedly due to "personal reasons."
