Jordin Sparks will not be performing at Sunday's Idol Grand Final since she is too ill to come to Australia. Jordin has had to cancel her planned promotional trip to Australia due to acute appendicitis for which she is currently receiving treatment.

Jordin's management has released the following statement from Jordin:

"I want to apologize to all of my fans and Guy Sebastian for not being able to travel to Australia. I really hope to see you guys soon and get back to the land down under. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers."


Everybody at Australian Idol wishes you well, Jordin. Hope you get better soon!
