Lady Sovereign Cancels Shows Due To Exhaustion

Lady Sovereign has pulled some of her forthcoming shows until further notice, due to illness.

The rapper was diagnosed with intense exhaustion following her extensive world tour schedule, promoting the release of her debut album Public Warning.

Performances in Glasgow (April 10th) and Birmingham (April 11th) will now not take place - however, planned sets in London, Bristol, Norwich and Manchester will not be affected.

Speaking on behalf of Lady Sovereign, her management say: "Unfortunately Sovereign has to postpone her forthcoming shows at Glasgow King Tuts (April 10) and Birmingham's Academy 2 (April 11)."

"Sovereign is bitterly disappointed as both shows meant a lot to her, but she is suffering from intense exhaustion following 18 months of non stop touring and promotion. I urge all ticket holders to be patient and understanding and wait for further news on the postponement."

Lady Sovereign's T-Mobile Street gig at Leeds Pole Position Go Cart Track on April 12th (read details) will still go ahead, so her current schedule looks like:
