Lisa Lashes cancelled all her February gigs last week after becoming seriously ill. She developed the health complications following a routine operation.

The popular British club star apologised to fans and vowed to return to the decks in time for the Hard Dance Awards in Sheffield on February 29.

“At the start of January I underwent a planned, routine operation. Based upon medical advice, it was expected and hoped that I would have been able to return to the decks from the start of February,” she said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, during the post-op recovery phase I developed a severe infection, which resulted in me being rushed to the hospital’s A&E department in the early hours of Thursday night (31 January). As a result of this and further professional medical advice, it is with deep regret that I am having to suspend all gigs until the start of March.”
