The upper respiratory infection that waylaid Whitney Houston’s Paris gig has accompanied her across the channel, forcing the diva to postpone her first three U.K. dates.

Houston was scheduled to play the Manchester Evening News Arena April 8-9. Those shows are now slotted for the end of the tour – June 16-17.

Fans in Glasgow won’t have to wait nearly as long. Houston postponed her April 11 date at the S.E.C.C. to May 1.
