"I realise that this will create difficulties for numerous of you who may have arranged to journey to these concerts," CMAT shared.

"And for this I can only say I am so so sorry."

The Irish artist revealed she cannot "chew any food" and "can barely concentrate" because of the pain.

Her UK tour is planned to conclude in spring before she performs in European countries and at the 2026 Coachella festival.
