AceShowbiz - Lily Allen has been forced to cancel two shows on her North American tour due to vocal cord issues.
On Wednesday night, October 31, the British singer announced on Twitter at the last minute that she would have to cancel that night's show in Chicago as well as Thursday's concert in Minneapolis as she is unable to sing.
"#NOSHAMEUSA CHICAGO + MINNEAPOLIS,I have no choice but to cancel tonight and tomorrow's shows, my throat and vocal chords are so inflamed and angry," she wrote on Twitter. "Working on rescheduling and will have more info for you as soon as I get it. I am so sorry, I was so looking forward to seeing y'all."

The 33-year-old had hinted earlier that she might be having health problems as she revealed to followers that she cut her set short in Detroit because "my voice is so f**ked."
However, it also appeared she was battling personal issues as well, as she tweeted earlier on Wednesday that she was "shaken up" by some "truly devastating news" from back home.
Lily kicked off the "No Shame" tour on 5 October, and the North American leg is set to conclude on 9 November. She is next set to perform in Denver on Saturday.
