Whitney Houston has postponed her European tour.

Houston started her world tour to disastrous reviews in Australia earlier this year so news of the delay in the next leg, the European tour, does not come as an immediate surprise.

A respiratory infection is being blamed for the delay in this tour.

The Whitney show played in Australia is February where fans were forced for fork out $195 for what was mostly described as 'a train wreck'.

Despite complaints, there was no refund for fans that parted with their hard earned cash and received a performance well below their expectation. In a restaurant, this was a meal that would have been sent back.

The delay in the European tour is said to be because of 'doctor's orders'.
