She was forced to cancel the last six dates of her US tour due to vocal strain.

And now Kelly Clarkson has pulled out of all the remaining dates of her Piece by Piece tour so her throat can continue its recovery.

The 32-year-old warbler, who is pregnant with her second child, announced she would not be travelling to the United Kingdom or Canada to make any more money-spinning appearance based on medical advice.

On her website she said: 'I am truly sorry that I have to cancel the remainder of my tour dates.

'I was so looking forward to sharing this tour with all my amazing fans in Canada and the UK. 

'Unfortunately my doctor is telling me I have to stay on vocal rest, but I am working hard to get better as fast as possible.'

The Stronger singer had been planning to visit the likes of Montreal and Vancouver in Canada in September and October, while she would have hit major British cities including Glasgow and London in November. A planned trip to Ireland has also been scotched.

In total she is cancelling 10 dates in North America and six in the United Kingdom.

I can't wait to get healthy and see y'all back on the road soon. I hate cancelling and I am truly sorry to my fans that have been excited to see this show. 

'Please know that I never cancel anything unless it's absolutely necessary.'

The American Idol winner previously lost her voice after giving birth to daughter River last year and admitted she feared she would never be able to sing again.

She said: "I literally had a moment where I cried and drank wine all day.

'I was like, "Oh, God, I'm not going to be a singer anymore!" I was bawling to my husband and like, completely hammered, just going, "Oh my God, it's over. I don't know what I'm going to do."'
