Pop icon Madonna has cancelled her three shows in Boston following orders from her doctors.

In a statement, the singer said she's suffering from "overwhelming pain" and has been advised to "rest". 

"I must rest and follow doctor’s orders so I can come back stronger and better and continue the Madame ❌ journey with all of you." 

Organisers said the dates will not be rescheduled.

It comes a month after she postponed a New York concert, blaming a knee injury.
