Music News: Aguilera Cancels Shows

She may be Dirty...but so will a throng of obbsessive Melbourne Christina fans when they find out that the blonde bombshell has decided to cancel her Melbourne leg of shows!

The Frontier Touring Company released a statment to the effect "that after on-going consultation with a team of doctor’s Christina Aguilera will be unable to proceed with a rescheduled Saturday 28 July concert and now her Monday 30 July concert".

Doctor’s have confirmed Christina has a viral upper respiratory tract infection (which surprised most of us here, we expected a far different infection) with a high fever and abnormal coughing. They have prescribed complete bed rest for the next few days.

Christina Aguilera asked for the following message to be passed onto fans.

"I want to personally apologize to all of my fans for having to cancel my last two shows here in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won't be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time."

Promoter Michael Gudinski said Christina was understandably distressed at upsetting fans that had bought tickets to her final two Melbourne concerts.

“Christina is a real trouper. She is a talented artist who puts her all into her concerts and she is devastated that she can’t perform her remaining concerts in Melbourne.”

A number of Christina’s touring party have fallen ill while in Australia. Australia and New Zealand are the end of an extensive world tour, so as usual, it seems that Christina is spreading her infection far and wide.

Ticket holders for Christina’s two cancelled Melbourne concerts can seek a refund from their original point of purchase.
