P!nk has apologised to her fans after postponing a UK date.

The singer was due to perform at Birmingham's LG Arena last night (April 22) but it was shelved on the day due to illness.

The singer tweeted: "I have an ear and respiratory infection. I am not a person that takes cancellations lightly - and I apologise to anyone who was inconvenienced by my illness. Thanks to all my genuine people out there sending love."

A statement on P!nk's website confirmed that the rest of her UK dates - four shows at London's O2 Arena - are unaffected by the illness. It said:

"It's with great regret that P!nk has been forced to postpone her concert tonight (April 22) at Birmingham's LG Arena. After seeking medical advice this afternoon she has been advised that she cannot perform tonight."

The statement continued: "The promoters have asked ticket holders for tonight's show to retain their tickets. Further announcements regarding a replacement date will follow. All other UK dates on 'The Truth About Love Tour' will not be affected."
