In a brief statement, the Forest Live team said: "We are sorry to announce that, due to unforeseen circumstances, Jess Glynne’s concerts as part of Forest Live this summer have been cancelled.
"Customers for these performances will be contacted by their point of purchase with refund information. Unfortunately, these concerts cannot be rescheduled so Forestry England will be securing a new headline artist/s for these dates.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
Almost two million people have attended Forest Live gigs since their launch in 2000, with ticket costs going towards vital conservation and environmental work.
Westonbirt Arboretum, located in nearby Gloucestershire, is one of three venues that takes part in the Forest Live series alongside Cannock Chase Forest (Staffordshire) and Thetford Forest (Suffolk).
To date, the concert series has enabled Forestry England to continue supporting the nation's 1500 woodland and forest areas, and maintain natural spaces to welcome millions of visitors every year.
