”Just wanted to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas. It’s been an interesting year, lots going on. Health wasn’t great, but it’s getting much better,” Arena said in the clip.

Just two months ago, Arena cancelled the UK leg of her Love Saves world tour shortly after postponing her Australian shows.
An email was sent out to ticketholders of the London concert, which was to be held in Union Chapel on November 24, stating that, “Unfortunately the event has been CANCELLED.”
A statement from Arena was added in the email, where she says the cancellation was a “tremendously difficult decision”, apologising for the last minute cancellation.
“I understand the disappointment you feel, because I feel it too. Performing live is one of my favourite things in the world – I love to see your smiling faces in the crowd as we spend precious moments together surrounded by love and the healing power of music.
She hinted towards health issues causing the last-minute cancellation.
“As much as I wanted to soldier on, I realised that the biggest gift I can give you all is to honour my body and prioritise my healing. So when I do return to the stage, I’ll be bringing you the best of me. You deserve nothing less.”
