In a statement issued on her Twitter account, it is said that the star has had to reschedule her tour due to health problems.

"Beverley Knight's I heart Soulsville Tour dates, scheduled for the latter half of June 2017, have been postponed until October." The statement reads

"This is due to Beverley having to undergo a medical procedure this month, following diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids, a common condition amongst all women, more prevalent and often more aggressive in women of Afro-Caribbean descent.

"Doctors have advised surgery should take place as soon as possible to avoid escalation of complications.

"Beverley will need complete rest for several weeks after surgery in order to recover, after which she should return to full fitness.

"The dates have been postponed until October 1st-18th this year.

"All tickets will be valid for new dates or may be refunded at point of purchase.

"Beverley is very disappointed not be able to tour in June as planned but is looking forward to seeing everyone in October."
