The singer battles throat ailment

Bjork has announced the cancellation of another upcoming performance due to a "bug" she's been battling.

The singer was recently forced to cancel a gig in Sheffield, England due to medical issues involving her throat.

A statement posted today (July 8) on Bjork's website reads: "Sadly, due to medical issues with her voice, has to cancel the show in Helsinki. Ticket holders should return tickets to point of purchase to get a ticket refund. Bjork thanks her fans for their understanding and support."

As of now, the rest of her European tour is scheduled to go ahead as planned. She's also promised fans a "special treat in Verona".
