“This was not an easy decision and I’m truly so gutted to disappoint any of you who had plans to attend. Thank you for your patience, kindness and understanding. I’m so grateful for you all always showing up for me and love each of you so much.
“I’ll see you back under the stars very soon,” she penned before singing off her message with, “xx Leona.”
The star added in the caption: “If you had tickets to A Starry Night Dec 20th show – please reach out to info@voltairelv.com to arrange a refund or reschedule your tickets for a later show.”

Speaking about how she bonded with her husband, who won German TV series You Can Dance in 2007, she spilled: “I think we connected because we’d been through two very similar shows,” before she added: “Plus he saved me on stage.”
Leona joked how during one show of her Labyrinth Tour, her now-husband caught her after she nearly fell in a hole in the stage. “So I had to marry him,” she joked to People.
The couple wed in 2019. She added of their romance: “You can have these little disagreements and arguments and things, but at the end of the day, we always say this to each other: ‘Remember we’re on the same team.”
