"This has been an extremely difficult decision to make as we have all been looking forward to spending a wonderful evening with you at Cork’s flagship venue.
"The good news is we will be rescheduling the concert for a later date."
She added that all tickets for tonight’s event will be valid for the new date but it is also possible for customers to get a refund for tonight’s event if they so wish.
She concluded :"My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused and look forward to bringing our show to you in the very near future."
