"Please know I am OK, I have done a lot of work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me," she said.

"My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer: 'No one can make you believe something about yourself that you don't already believe about yourself.’'

“And if I ever do have any feelings about it, then it's an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it.

Speaking on her tour, she wrote: "What is real is seeing your faces every night, singing in unison, reading your notes, feeling your warmth."

"l'm on a human journey playing the game of life with an audience of many, and sometimes I fall but... I get back up and go on and continue to play the game.
