The 48-year-old Scottish singer was due on stage for a matinee and evening show at the Manchester Evening News Arena but concert goers were greeted at the venue with notices announcing she would not be performing.

The church volunteer, who shot to worldwide fame on the ITV1 programme, received standing ovations at the tour's previous shows in Birmingham and Sheffield.

These appearances followed speculation that she would not sing due to health concerns.

The troubled singer was admitted to the Priory clinic after coming second to dance troupe Diversity in the TV contest but left five days later.

A spokeswoman for the singer said: "Susan Boyle has been advised to rest. She sends her sincere apologies to her fans for not appearing in Manchester."

The spokeswoman stressed Boyle had not been ruled out of the rest of the 21-date tour across the UK and it was hoped she would be fit enough to perform on Monday in her home country at Glasgow's SECC.
