Jessie J has confirmed that she will no longer be supporting Robin Thicke in North America in an effort to focus on recording a US version of her album 'Alive'.

The British singer was due to head out on the road in support of the 'Blurred Lines' man in February and March, but she took to Twitter today (January 10) to reveal her cancellation.

She has left the tour to finish a US version of her latest record 'Alive' with the hope of releasing a single in the country soon.

Jessie J said: "I'm off to the USA to dedicate my time to my heartbeats who have had less of my time than anywhere in the world in the past few years. No gigs, no music released! So I am going into the studio to write and finish the US version of 'Alive' and hopefully do some small shows and prove to my fans how much I want to be there! Not everything is in my control! But I am making it my goal that my album is released in the USA this year!

"Out of respect to my USA fans I want to be honest. I will not be supporting Robin Thicke on his USA tour. My team and I have decided it's best I prioritise recording/studio and promo to finish the album for my US fans and having the opp for a single to be released for you sooner than later. Timing isn't always perfect but I want to make it work! And hopefully have my own shows in the USA someday! I hope you understand. I'm sorry to all the fans who were coming. I will make it up by making sure you have more of me and my music this year."
