Alongside a picture of herself holding her head, Madonna wrote: “A note to all my my fans: As you all know I have multiple injuries and have had to cancel shows to give myself time to recover.

“So as not to surprise you I want to let you know ahead of time that I will be cancelling 2 shows - on Feb 4 and Feb 11th at the Palladium in London.

“Because doing 3 shows in a row is too much on my body and in fact my doctors insist I take a day off after every show but I believe can manage if I do 2 shows then I rest!

“It's a miracle I have gotten this far but a-lot has to do with the fact that I do 6 hours of re-hab every day 3 hours before show and 3 after with multiple therapies.

“I have also switched to flat shoes and modified difficult parts of the show. This has helped enormously but I still need to be careful and of course rest is the best medicine.

“I never want to cancel any show and I'm determined that I will make it to the end if I pace myself. God Willing.

She also cited “overwhelming pain” for the cancellation of three shows in Boston, Massachusetts in December and November.
