SPICE Girl Emma Bunton has been left in tears after doctors told her she could not perform.
The singer, 46, has been forced to cancel two shows from her festive tour last night and tonight.
She told fans in York on Friday evening that she would not be going on, 90 minutes before the show was due to begin.
Emma told fans last night: "I have never in my whole career ever had to cancel a gig and I can't stop crying.
"I tried my hardest to make tonight happen. Thank you all for your beautiful messages of support."
And today she posted again, with the text appearing in front of a picture of her with tears in her eyes.
Emma wrote to fans hoping to see her in Birmingham: "I feel like I have let so many of you down today and it has left my heart broken.
"With rest and medication I wake every morning with hope.
"Birmingham, I am here but unfortunately won't be able to perform tonight under doctors orders.
"I am overwhelmed by all the support and love from my fans. Love you all very much."
The star did successfully take her Emma Bunton and Friends show to Manchester on Monday and Brighton on Tuesday.
It sees the singer perform Christmas songs as well as her solo tracks and Spice Girls hits.
The tour is due to wrap up for the year on 19 December at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.
Emma has been a star ever since joining the Spice Girls in 1994 after responding to an ad in The Stage.
Nicknamed Baby Spice by the press, she went on to global stardom alongside Victoria Beckham, Geri Horner and Mels B and C.
She released her solo album, A Girl Like Me, in 2001.
