"The entire range of my voice is gone today, I thought I could push through like we did last night.

However, the singer has now been forced to reschedule her planned show in Manchester tonight to June 30 due to illness.

Many fans in Leeds were left confused by the announcement and questioned the reasoning of not announcing a further Leeds show at the same time.

One said: "Wait, so the Manchester gig for Alanis Morissette has been rescheduled for this coming Thursday but the Leeds one has just been sacked off? Yikes."

Another added: "Why has Leeds not been rescheduled if Manchester has?"

Leeds First Direct Arena has been approached for comment.
