La Roux cancel American tour

Elly Jackson has had to cancel La Roux's American tour after being told by her doctor to stop performing.

The band made an announcement on their Facebook page to explain the situation.

They wrote: "Elly has been struggling with bronchitis for the last few months and after her show in LA contracted pharyngitis.

"Her doctor has advised her to rest for three weeks so unfortunately she’ll be unable to continue with her American tour.

"We are endeavouring to reschedule as many of the cancelled shows for November as possible. An announcement will be made shortly."
