Arena cited her health as the reason behind her decision, but gave no specific information as to the nature of her illness.
‘As much as I wanted to soldier on, I realised that the biggest gift I can give you all is to honour my body and prioritise my healing,’ the Chains singer wrote.
‘So when I do return to the stage, I’ll be bringing you the best of me. You deserve nothing less. I promise I’ll be back!… Until we meet again,’ Arena concluded.
