Singer Camila Cabello has decided to postpone her world tour as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The 23-year-old performer, who rose to fame on X-Factor USA with Fifth Harmony, announced that she was truly ‘heartbroken’ but believed it wasn’t safe to start rehearsals.

“With all the news constantly coming out and so much that is really unknown, we’re also taking extreme precautions to protect ourselves, our team, our dancers, our band, our crew and ultimately you guys.

“I’m truly heartbroken to say that we’ve decided we need to postpone the tour…. We can’t start rehearsals without putting people at risk and with so much up in the air with no real and definitive end in sight, I feel this is the responsible thing to do,” she wrote.

Sharing the heartfelt post with her 48.6 million Instagram followers, the Senorita vocalist went on to apologise for the decision and vowed to make an epic comeback when the pandemic had subsided.

“I’m so so sorry guys,” she wrote. “Im so sad at the thought of disappointing you. I was so excited to see you and hug you in person and sing these songs with you.

“We’ve been working on something really magical and special and I keep pictutring your faces and i just wanted to bring you guys the dreamist experience possible. I promise I’ll see you and cuddle your faces off when it’s safe and this all passes.

Camila also used her massive social media platform to promise more music as she self-isolated.

“One positive thing is the opportunity to create and keep making music that I’m also excited to share with you. Thank you for being there for me and caring about me always, i love and care about all of you so much too.”

Camila announced earlier this month that her Romance tour was meant to have supporting appearances from boyband Pretty Much, soloist Trevor Daniel and musician Ant Saunders.

The anticipated global tour was expected to begin in Norway at the end of May before heading to the United Kingdom and across Europe. She was then heading to the United States, Mexico and Canada before finishing the tour in Miami, Florida.

Camila is currently dating singing heartthrob Shawn Mendes and was recently spotted taking a break from self-isolation with a sunny walk in Florida.

Walking hand-in-hand earlier this week, the duo reaffirmed that their romance is continuing to blossom as they lock in together during isolation in Florida, U.S.

As of March 25, the United States had at least 52,976 confirmed cases and 704 people have reportedly died in the country, according to CNN.
