Christina Aguilera has cancelled her remaining two Melbourne concerts because of illness.
Promoter Michael Gudinski of the Frontier Touring Company said a viral upper respiratory tract infection forced Aguilera to cancel the concerts.
Aguilera had postponed yesterday’s concert until tonight, citing a slight fever.
She was to have had another show tomorrow night.
“Doctors have confirmed Christina has a viral upper respiratory tract infection with a high fever and abnormal coughing,” Gudinski said in a statement.
“They have prescribed complete bed rest for the next few days.”
In the same statement, Aguilera apologised to her fans.
“Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won’t be able to share my show with you all,” she said.
“Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time.”
Gudinski said Aguilera was “understandably distressed” for fans who bought tickets, and promised refunds from their original point of purchase.
