Illness prevails as Cyrus remains hospitalised

The singer has been bed-ridden since last Tuesday following a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics.

LOS ANGELES: There never is a good time to get sick, but getting sick while on tour is probably every singer’s worst nightmare. Miley Cyrus is one such singer, and has been in the hospital for one week now, following a severe reaction to antibiotics.

The singer was forced to cancel her concert in Charlotte, North Carolina, earlier this month, after being diagnosed with the flu, and was ordered by doctors to rest. She was back on the road in no time, but not for long. The singer is now suffering from sinus infection, and remains hospitalized.

Cyrus cancelled the first of four shows last week in Kansas City, Missouri, and the 21-year-old was placed on medical rest on doctors’ orders, the Sprint Center in Kansas City said in a statement. The singer posted a picture of herself in a hospital bed on Twitter with an apology to her Kansas fans, saying “I wanted so badly 2 b there 2night.”

She later cancelled a second show in St. Louis on Wednesday. “The hospital is sayin i wont b released today,” Cyrus said on Twitter on Wednesday. “therefore Im not going 2 make it 2 St Louis. Im so sorry but somethings are outta my control.”

The Wrecking Ball singer last week, had also been writing to her 17.8 million Twitter followers, informing them that she had been sick with a fever. She then also  called off upcoming shows in Nashville, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky.

Cyrus has come under great scrutiny since shedding her Disney star image following a number of highly publicised stunts at a number of awards shows, along with ending her engagement to Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth.

Cyrus is currently midway through her Bangerz tour in support of her recent album by the same name. The North American leg of Cyrus’ tour began in February and she was scheduled playing 60 shows across North America and Europe between February and June. The 22-concert European leg of the tour begins on May 2 in Amsterdam.
