The 29-year-old former Strictly Come Dancing contestant released a similar statement on her website saying the tour had been cancelled “due to scheduling issues”.
Fans were quick to express disappointment they would have to wait a little longer to see the tour but also sent Alexandra their best wishes.
Her third studio album of the same name peaked at number 16 on the UK albums chart following its release in March.
Alexandra rose to fame after winning the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008, which led her to release the Christmas number one song, Hallelujah.
Her debut album, Overcome, was released in 2009 and featured number one singles Bad Boys and Start Without You.
In recent years Alexandra has been more focused on her West End career, winning rave reviews for her role as Rachel Maron in The Bodyguard and Deloris in Sister Act: The Musical.
She was a finalist on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, but lost out on the Glitterball Trophy, which was won by Holby City’s Joe McFadden and his partner, Katya Jones.
Alex had to juggle recording her third album with intense Strictly rehearsal sessions with partner Gorka Marquez.

She told Evening Standard at the start of December: “It hasn’t stopped me singing — I’m recording my third album at the moment. I’m basically taking whatever time I have spare in the evenings and working in my studio at home. I built it four years ago in a downstairs room — it’s small but it’s got everything I need.
“It’s where I recorded my last album. I always record from home now, I work better that way.”
