Rita Ora has pulled out of her set at Iceland’s Secret Solstice Festival because of a “re-occurring chest infection”.
The singer was due to perform at the event on Friday, but posted a string of messages on Twitter telling fans her doctors had advised her to cancel.
She said she was “heartbroken” to disappoint her fans.
Ora said: “I’m very sad to have to let all those attending the Solstice in Iceland know that I’m not going to be able to headline as planned.
“I’ve been struggling with a re-occurring chest infection and have been advised by my Doctors to take time out to recover.”
