Fans will have to wait, however, with the date at Adelaide Entertainment Centre now scrapped. And a make-up show won\u2019t be added to the itinerary.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe have made the extremely difficult decision to cancel tonight\u2019s show due to an illness in the band,\u201d reads a statement posted to Instagram Stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Australian tour has been incredible so far and we are devastated that we\u2019re unable to perform for our fans in Adelaide.
