A statement from Hyperactive Publicity, which represents Tony Bennett, said promoters Live Nation confirmed the concert had been cancelled.

It said: "Unfortunately, Tony Bennett has come down with a flu virus which has prevented him from performing the second of two sold-out shows in London.

"Ticket holders are instructed to retain their tickets to this event pending more information.

"Fans who have purchased tickets online will be notified via the ticket outlets as soon as additional information is available."

Lady Gaga to took to Twitter to reassure fans that the legendary crooner was not seriously ill, despite some gossip websites claiming he’d had a heart attack.

Following the short notice announcement, a message was also tweeted from Tony’s official account.

"Sorry to not be singing in London tonight. I love my fans in the UK and appreciate all the well wishes to get over this flu quickly," he wrote.

The cancellation comes just a day after Prince Harry watched the pair perform at the Albert Hall in a charity concert to raise money for the charity WellChild, of which he is patron.
