Little’s Mix’s Perrie Edwards apologises to fans after pulling out of Brazil concert due to illness

Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has been forced to pull out of the band’s scheduled concert in Brazil on Sunday due to illness.

The singer, 26, took to Instagram Stories on Friday to share a post apologising to fans for her absence, before insisting that bandmates Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock will ‘absolutely smash it’ in her absence.

Little Mix were scheduled to perform at the Memorial da América Latina in São Paulo this weekend, as they prepare to kick off their Summer 2020 Tour later this year.

In her post Perrie told fans: ‘Hey everyone, I’m so sorry to announce that I am unable to travel and perform in Brazil with the rest of the girls on Sunday due to being unwell.

‘To all the fans that are attending the show, I’m heartbroken I can’t be there with you, but I know the girls will absolutely smash their performance and give you everything in my absence. Lots of love Perrie x.’

Perrie’s post – which was also shared on the band’s official Twitter account – was soon flooded with responses from fans wishing her well.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Little Mix for further comment.

Little Mix are due to kick off their Summer 2020 tour on 26th June with a performance at Scotland’s Falkirk Stadium, with the band then set to travel to cities including Colchester, London, Leicester and Canterbury. 

Perrie’s pose comes after she confirmed that she had passed her driving test in January with a celebratory post on Instagram.

The South Shields songstress wrote: ‘First post of 2020❗️ Beep beep huns [car emoji] About time I ticked this one off the list! [happy face emoji] Coming soon to a road near you! Skkkrrrt.’

Perrie’s Little Mix bandmates and boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were quick to congratulate her.

Meanwhile, in her love life, Perrie recently admitted that beau Alex is the ideal boyfriend because he understands her ‘weird’ behaviour.     

‘I’m a little creep sometimes, I’m a little weirdo,’ Perrie told Notion magazine. ‘And he loves me for that, and that’s why I’m like, “Woohoo!” You know? I don’t have to put on a front and be this perfect girlfriend.

‘He’s like, perfection. He’s not too much, he’s not too clingy, but he’s not too cool for school. He’s got a perfect balance, he’s super supportive of everything I do, which is so nice.’
