Unfortunately I'm not going to be performing on Graham Norton. I have, very annoyingly, come down again with a viral laryngitis which will prevent me from singing for at least a week. I have been fighting off a flu but was able to sing fine for the first few days of promo. After the Capital Christmas live performance I felt the symptoms were moving towards my throat and when I woke up on Saturday I could barely speak. I've seen two doctors and it's official. I am not allowed to sing. I'm fine, just frustated. It's one of those situations that if I sing I could probably sound o.k but risk damaging my voice permanently. My performance is going to go ahead on the GMTV as this can be fully mimed (something I hate doing) but Graham's show is something, like Letterman in the u.s, that is all about being fully live. Because I'm not physically able to do that, we are going to have to appear on the show some other time.
I'm dissapointed but just wanted to apologize to anyone who was looking forward to seeing the show.
On a brighter note, I really did have such a great time at Top Of The Pops AND Capital. My spirit was in it, even if my body at times wasn't.
Thanks for all your support, love and best wishes and just know that I love you all.
