The Kiwi singer songwriter was meant to play Tauranga's ASB Arena on April 1 but the show has been canned due to 'unavoidable scheduling conflicts”.

Breaking the news to fans last Wednesday via her Facebook page, she says the planned shows would be rescheduled for a later date.

'We're sorry to announce the cancellation of Brooke's March 2015 New Zealand dates due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts,” the Facebook post says. 'We're very sorry and will be back in the new year with rescheduled NZ shows for you.”

The decision has mystified many of her fans, with one posting the comment: 'How can you have scheduling issues when it's your own concert?”

While another commenter wrote: 'Sad, but looking forward to hearing about some new show dates!”

The 10 show New Zealand tour would have seen Fraser play Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Invercargill, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, New Plymouth and Napier.

But according to her website she will carry on with her planned tour of Australia, Canada and America early next year.

People who purchased tickets for shows should have been contacted by now about refunds.

But if you have not been contacted then get in touch with the ticketing outlet where you bought your tickets from to organise a refund.
