Jessie J has apologised to Katy Perry after pulling out of supporting her on her forthcoming California Dreams tour.
The London singer announced earlier this week that she was under strict doctor's orders not to fly out to the States to perform with Perry.
''I was so honoured for her to ask me to support her on the last leg of her amazing show. I saw it when I was in Australia. But sadly I went to see my doctor and he has advised me that if I do the diary - including the Katy Perry tour - that I won’t heal 110%.So unfortunately, as much as it breaks my heart to say it, I’ve had to pull out of the Katy Perry tour,'' Jessie J told MTV.
She added: ''Health has to come first. I’m so sorry Katy. Please let us sing I Kissed A Girl dressed as cupcakes one day! You know what, as I’ve always said, everything happens for a reason.I may be looking for a reason for this for longer than most things, but I’ve learned a lot about myself, and I think I’ve just realised you can’t take anything for granted. And maybe the shoes I wore were a bit crazy. It wasn’t the best time, and it still isn’t.''
Ellie Goulding will now replace Jessie J for the five US dates.
Perry's California Dreams world tour has already called in the UK, but the singer is set to return for another leg in the autumn.
The tour is in support of Perry's recent album 'Teenage Dream'.
