She's been working tirelessly since the release of her hit self-titled debut album.

And Dua Lipa was left in tears whilst performing at one of her concerts on Tuesday night, as she was forced to stop a show mid-concert due to health risks.

The 22-year-old singer had only performed three of her songs before she told the crowd she had to cancel the show in order to avoid 'permanent' damage to her ears after she contracted an ear infection earlier this week.

Upset: Dua Lipa burst into tears mid-concert as she was forced to end her show in Denver, Colorado early on Tuesday, due to risk of PERMANENT damage to ears after she contracted a 'painful' infection

The One Kiss hitmaker had been in pain with the illness for a number of days, and while she tried to power through, it became clear she had to cut the concert short.

Speaking on stage at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado, whilst holding back tears, she said: 'I really tried to push through for this show, I wanted to give you guys a really good show.

'I feel so bad for letting you guys down because I can't possibly or physically do it and this is not the kind of show I want to give you guys.'

'I will be back, I'm so sorry, thank you so much.'

Dua later took to Instagram and Twitter to apologise to fans who had come to the show, and she wrote: 'I'm so very sorry to have had to [have] stopped tonight's show.

'I've had an ear infection for the last couple of days, I thought I would be able to pull through but it was quite painful and I was advised that if I carried on I could cause permanent damage to my ear.

'Please hold on to your tickets, I am working on rescheduling the show.'

In another post she thanked her fans for their support, and wrote: You guys did make my night though.'

Currently, the New Rules hitmaker's next concert is on Friday in San Diego, but it's not yet known if Dua will be well enough to perform.
