Whitney postpones start of European tour
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 7 April 2010
Whitney Houston has postponed the start of her European tour after contracting an upper respiratory infection.
It was initially announced that just the first date of the tour, due to take place last night in Paris, would be cancelled, but the latest reports say that the singer has now been hospitalised and that the first of two dates in Manchester tomorrow night is also likely to be postponed. It’s not clear if Friday’s Manchester show will go ahead.
As previously reported, Houston recently came in for criticism on the Australian leg of her world tour, with some fans and critics saying that she looked exhausted and disorientated, that she got some of her backing band’s names wrong when trying to introduce them, and that she needed to take frequent breaks to catch her breath. But Houston and her team have said that she is in great shape.
