Jenkins treated in hospital for bug

Wednesday November 25 2009

Katherine Jenkins needed hospital treatment after a bout of the Norovirus stomach bug.

The 29-year-old opera singer was forced to pull out of the iTunes concert in London where she was promoting songs from her new album Believe.

Katherine posted an apology to fans who missed the show on her Twitter feed: "Still feel pretty awful (gastric flu or Norovirus apparently). Just wanted 2 say sorry 2 all those were coming to iTunes."

She added: "A hospital visit has made a big difference and I feel I am coming out the other side of it. I hate letting you all down."

Believe, released last month, topped the UK Classical Music chart and her cross-over cover of Evanescence's Bring Me to Life aims to make her sound more accessible to a younger audience.
