The pop singer announced the postponement on her X handle.

She wrote, "Hi Lovers, as some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour.

I've tried my best to recover fast to start our next run on Monday but I'm afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform the best for you. I'm so, SO sorry!

The tour follows her 2023 success with her song Padam Padam becoming a global hit, including in the US, where she has previously enjoyed a Las Vegas residency.

Following the European dates, Minogue plans to take the tour to South America and Mexico.
