Ellie Goulding’s ‘Battle With Insomnia And Fatigue’ Forced Her To Postpone Delirium Tour

Ellie Goulding was reportedly forced to cancel several dates on her Delirium World Tour after she suffered from exhaustion as a consequence of a long-term sleeping disorder.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the 29-year-old singer had been diagnosed with exhaustion after cancelling a string of gigs, but now it has been suggested that ‘severe insomnia’ is to blame for her no-shows.

Poor Ellie!

The hard-working pop star has been burning the candle at both ends but – following a difficult battle with insomnia – fatigue finally caught up with her, so the doctor advised her to take some ‘time off’, according to The Sun.

“Ellie’s body clock is completely out of sync and she has found herself lying awake in bed most nights unable to get to sleep,” a source told the paper.

“All the travelling through random time zones has messed with her system. She just can’t sleep at night, and even when she’s back in England the insomnia is sapping her energy.

“She’s worried about it as she doesn’t want to be tired before going on stage. She’s a professional and wants to give her fans the best performances possible.”

The British singer has had a difficult few months as she has continued to deal with the heartbreak of her split from Dougie Poynter while also embarking on a mammoth tour that includes 89 dates in 88 cities around the globe.

Sensibly taking doctors orders on board, though, Ellie has recently been getting some well-earned rest on holiday in St. Tropez after cancelling two European festival dates earlier this month.

Obviously keen to return to the stage, The Love Me Like You Do hitmaker has been hitting the gym in an effort to combat her sleeplessness – as evidenced in her recent Instagram photos.

The source added: “Ellie’s had a couple of weeks off now and is hoping she can beat her insomnia through exercise and natural remedies.”

In the meantime, we’re sending all our love and well wishes to the super talented star.
