The singer explained she told her assistant she needed to go to the hospital around 2am and was able to get there with the help of castle’s butler.
“So our butler, this wonderful man named Simeon, throws us in his BMW Sedan, which was so great, and off we sped through the night to a hospital.
She continued: “I was there for two days and they let me go back to the castle and we had to cancel.”
The Edge of Seventeen singer said she has been fighting the health issue for the whole tour but said she would be “damned” if she wasn’t coming back to Glasgow.
