Alanis Morissette has cancelled her gig at Leeds First Direct Arena just minutes before the show was due to start.

The Canadian-American singer-songwriter was set to take to the stage as part of her UK tour, but announced shortly after 6pm that she was unable to perform - after doors had already opened.

In a message to her fans, Alanis said: "I feel so sad that I have to cancel tonight's show in Leeds (Jun 24).

"The entire range of my voice is gone today, I thought I could push through like we did last night.

One fan said: "I don't want a refund I want the gig we paid for. Absolutely gutted!!!"

Another added: "I hope she feels better soon, I understand these things happen. However when you’ve been travelling since noon, it’s not the best news!"

First Direct Arena said that ticket holders will be automatically refunded to the method of payment used for purchase.
