Justin Bieber reportedly cancelled a concert at the New York State Fair after falling ill.

A statement on the New York State Fair's website announcing the cancellation noted that the singer was feeling unwell and was currently under a doctor's care, according to TMZ.

The 'Baby' singer was to perform last night at the annual event in Syracuse, but has rescheduled the concert for September 1.

Bieber took to his Twitter account to explain his reasons for cancelling the show.

He said: "Been super sick lately but u guys are carrying me. Thank u for the love… Im getting rest right now and trying to recover from the not so good news from the doctor. (sic)"

The popstar vowed to fans that he would recover and thanked them for their support.

"Im gonna be ok just need 2 rest but I wanted all of u 2 know I never want to let any of u down. Ever. I really appreciate all the kind words. (sic)"
