The 23-year-old star wrote on twitter: 'Ive been crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down 2nite. An hour before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing.(sic)
'Paramedics came to take care of me, and told me my heart-rate was irregular a result of exhaustion and dehydration.
'cant apologize enough for how sorry I am. I could hear my fans cheering from my dressing room, I begged everyone to let me go on stage. My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was concerned Id be in danger during the 2hr show, since I had passed out earlier. (sic)
'I am so devastated. I have performed with the flu, a cold, strep throat: I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort.'
She then went on to confirm that the show would be re-scheduled for January 26 and appealed for her fans understanding.
She added: 'I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything.'
Commenting on the events, gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who is a friend of the stars said on twitter: 'People dont realise how hard you work and how its pretty much non-stop and has been for two years!'
