She was treated for exhaustion at The Priory in London after the TV show. | |
Concert-goers at the Manchester Evening News Arena arrived to find notices announcing Boyle would not perform at either of the scheduled matinee or evening shows. | |
"She sends her sincere apologies to her fans for not appearing in Manchester," her spokesman said. | |
He added Boyle had not been ruled out of the rest of the 21-date tour, and it was hoped she would return to the stage in her home country on Monday. | |
The singer performed renditions of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables and Memory from Cats on the opening night of the tour. | |
But the next day in Sheffield she appeared to stumble over the words to Memory and received a mixed reaction from the audience. | |
The crowd in Manchester booed after Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern told the audience Boyle would not be performing before a video clip of her "journey" was played on stage. | |
Ticket holders had the option of a refund if they decided they did not want to watch the show - but it is believed very few took up the offer ahead of the afternoon performance. | |
The arena tour, which will travel across the UK until the end of June, showcases winning act Diversity plus some of the other finalists and semi-finalists, including Boyle. |
