Singer Mary Black has been forced to reschedule the Dublin shows she had been due to play this weekend as she continues her recovery from illness.
In a message on Black's website, her management team said that "Mary is not well enough to perform this weekend in Vicar St. (20th and 21st April)".
"She is very upset at having to reschedule these concerts but has no alternative as she is extremely weak after her spell in hospital," the statement continued.
"She has been strongly advised by her doctors to rest and be well enough to complete the rest of the tour. The dates have been postponed and rescheduled for Aug. 24th and 25th."
Last week, Black told fans she was having a "tough week" after being hospitalised and thanked the staff at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin for their care.
In an earlier post on her website, Black had written: "I am so sorry to have to postpone two gigs this weekend - at the INEC, Killarney and the Woodlands Hotel in Waterford. I was sick last weekend but I managed to get through two concerts on Friday and Saturday night."
"However my health has gotten progressively worse and this week the doctor told me I have shingles as well as a throat and ear infection!" she continued.
Black has been touring following the release of her new album, Mary Black Sings Jimmy MacCarthy.
