James Arthur has been forced to cancel all of his upcoming commitments after being diagnosed with acute exhaustion.

A post on Arthur's official Facebook page confirmed the news by posting the message: "Unfortunately James Arthur has been diagnosed with acute exhaustion and instructed to rest for several days by his doctor.

"Regretfully, he has been forced to cancel all engagements during this period. James would like to apologise to his fans for any disappointment caused to them by these cancellations and he hopes to get back to full health as soon as possible."

James has been involved in a number of controversial incidents recently including the singer using homophobic slur towards a rapper in a diss rap which prompted many celebrities including Lucy Spraggan and Frankie Boyle to speak out against him.

The singer has since vowed to leave Twitter, instead leaving the running of his profile to his PR team.
