Singer Little Boots has cancelled a string of shows on her upcoming European tour.

The 25 year old was set to hit the road in November, taking in cities including Milan, Italy and Berlin in Germany, but scheduling issues have prompted the star to axe seven gigs.

An email from the singer reads, "I am really sorry. We will try to reschedule soon. In the good news we have some very special extra dates to add later in the year."

Dates in October and December remain unaffected.
