Earlier today, Alexandra’s PR team released a statement, confirming that the upcoming “Lady Sings The Blues” Royal Albert Hall & Chickenshed shows have been postponed, due to high demand. Alex has also released a statement via Twitter regarding the unfortunate news.
“Statement re: @alexandramusic: “Due to an overwhelming demand for tickets, Alexandra Burke has decided to postpone her June ‘Lady Sings The Blues’ concerts and re-schedule the performances for later this year, at additional venues.
