Jessie J has been forced to postpone her UK arena tour in order to focus on completing her second album.

She was due to start the 17 date tour in Nottingham on 26^th February but now it has been set back until October.

The singer was apologetic on her Twitter account tweeting: "I am honestly truly sorry but I hope you all can understand that it's just because I would like to take more time to finish my new album".

"I promise to make the show my biggest and best ever and cannot wait for you all to hear my new songs."

Jessie is one extremely busy lady over the coming months. Filming has already started on the audition section of series 2 of The Voice where she is a mentor and the show will then be airing early next year before going live soon after.

Tickets that have been purchased for the original tour dates will still be valid for the rescheduled shows in October and all venues remain the same apart from the show at Glasgow SECC which is going to move to the Hydro Arena.

The tour will now kick off at Belfast Odyssey Arena on October 15^th.
