Former Spice Girl, Melanie C has pulled out of a New Year's Eve concert in Poland after being made aware of issues "that do not align with the communities she support".

She didn't specify why she cancelled her appearance, but her decision was praised by LGBT people and allies.

Polish authorities and the TV station organising the concert have been widely criticised in recent years for their stances on LGBT rights.

The singer wrote on social media: "In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention, that do not align with the communities I support, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year's Eve.

"I hope to be back there very soon. Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for 2023. Melanie xxx."
