Jessie J delays tour to finish album

Chart-topping star Jessie J has postponed her sell-out arena tour of Ireland and the UK because she wants to spend more time recording her album.

The singer, who is also a coach on BBC1’s The Voice, had been due to embark on a 17-date series of shows in little over two months. She had been due to perform at Dublin’s O2 on Mar 18.

But yesterday she told fans she was rescheduling the shows until October of next year because she wanted “more time” to work on new songs.
