Superstar Jennifer Lopez has cancelled her trip to London and forthcoming European album tour because of a mystery illness.

The Latina actress and singer was due to promote her latest movie, the hit romantic comedy Shall We Dance, with Richard Gere today at a press conference and gala premiere, but has pulled out.

Citing an unspecified illness, Lopez — who performed at Sunday’s Grammy awards alongside husband Marc Anthony — apologised for her absence from her forthcoming commitments.

In a statement issued to journalists, Jennifer says, "I very much wanted to be in London today, but unfortunately I am not well.

"At the advice of my doctors I am unable to travel. Being sick has also forced me to cancel my European album tour. Please accept my sincerest apologies as I have to remain in Los Angeles."

Shall We Dance, in which Lopez stars alongside Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, opens in the capital on Friday.
