Paige’s October 22nd concert in Brighton was also postponed and has been moved to November 13th.

Her tour began in Cardiff earlier this month and will end in Melbourne on December 6th. The farwell tour celebrates Paige’s 50 years in showbusiness and marks her exit from the stage.

Paige, 66, is best known for her role as Grizabella in the original production of Cats, launching the hit song “Memory,” and for winning a Laurence Olivier award for her depiction of Eva Peron in Evita on West End.
