Ariana Grande is one of the most talked about people in the world, and from her viral music videos ('Thank You, Next' anyone?) to her high profile relationships, she never fails to make viral news.

This week, the 26-year-old singer made news for all the wrong reasons however as she broke the news to her followers that she was having to cancel her upcoming shows on her world tour, citing illness as the reason.

Yes, Ariana is reportedly very sick, and as a result, unsure of when she will next be performing. But what do we know about Ariana Grande’s illness?

It appears to be a sinus infection, with Ariana updating her followers via an Instagram story.

'10 times worse and it hurts so bad to swallow,’ she explained. 'I’m not really sure what's going on. But, I, unfortunately, don't think I will be able to push through tonight.’

She continued: ‘I am so sad and sorry. I'm so upset but of course obviously, you will be refunded. I’m just really devastated... Thank you for understanding and sending love... I will keep you posted as soon as I know what is going on with my body. Thank you for understanding and I am so sorry.’

Get well soon, Ari!
