Dita Von Teese has issued an update on her show in April

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese has said she will wait and see what governments and her promoters think before deciding whether to cancel her show in Edinburgh.

Posting an update on her Facebook page, she said she is waiting for more news before any decision is made.

The ‘Queen of Burlesque’ said she did not want to risk the well-being of her fans or her cast and crew by potentially exposing them to an outbreak of coronavirus.

She is due to perform at the Edinburgh Playhouse on Tuesday 28 April.

She wrote: “As governments make decisions to restrict events and limit flight destinations, there is less certainty for the Glamonatrix tour in Europe. ⁣

“At the moment, we are waiting to get more news from our promoting partners in each territory. ⁣

“Normally, I live by the showbiz mantra “the show must go on” and in all my years of performing, I have personally never cancelled a show, and the same stands true here, as I wait to see what the governments and my promoters decide. ⁣

“I would never want to risk the well-being of my fans or my cast and crew, and so I thank you for your patience as we await more information about the status of the Europe tour dates”
