Paloma Faith Forced to Cancel Southampton Show Amid Exhaustion and Illness
Singing sensation Paloma Faith has canceled her Southampton concert, citing severe exhaustion and multiple illnesses. The singer, who has been battling health issues contracted from her children, took to Instagram to share the disappointing news with her fans.
In her heartfelt post, Paloma expressed deep regret, stating: “I’m incredibly upset and disappointed to announce that I need to cancel my show tonight in Southampton. After suffering from exhaustion and catching various illnesses from my kids, my voice has been severely affected and my range is compromised. I have sought advice from medical professionals, and they have advised that I need to rest my voice, which means I’ve had to cancel tonight’s show. I’m so sorry to everyone who bought tickets. I’ve loved being on the road and seeing all your gorgeous faces, and I’m gutted I won’t be dancing with you tonight. There will be other opportunities in the future, I’m sure. Ticket holders will be able to claim refunds from the point of purchase. Loads of love, Paloma x.”

While Paloma has disabled comments on her Instagram post, disgruntled fans have voiced their frustration on X (formerly known as Twitter). One fan tweeted, “Why leave it until today to tell us that she can’t do her concert tonight??? So disappointing for everyone who had plans to travel.” Another added, “Thanks Paloma for telling us mere hours before the show was to start. I had taken the day off.”
Despite the complaints, many fans have shown understanding and support for Paloma’s situation. “Hope she feels better,” one fan wrote, while another commented, “Poor Paloma, that can’t be easy. Being exhausted is the worst thing in the world.”
This is not the first time the “Cry Baby” hitmaker has had to cancel a performance due to health issues. In April, Paloma was forced to cancel a show in Cardiff after being diagnosed with laryngitis, a condition that often affects singers. She had expressed her devastation over the cancellation and shared her efforts to recover, including vocal rest, steaming, gargling, and even a steroid injection.
As fans await updates on her Glastonbury performance, Paloma’s health remains a top priority. Her recent struggles highlight the physical demands placed on artists and the importance of self-care, even at the cost of disappointing fans.
For those who purchased tickets to the Southampton show, refunds are available at the point of purchase. Paloma’s message of hope assures fans that there will be future opportunities to see her perform, and her dedication to delivering the best possible show remains unwavering.
