Paloma Faith gets back on stage in Manchester after being forced to cancel previous show due to laryngitis... as she performs in a leather dress and red pixie-cut wig
Paloma Faith took to the stage at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on Tuesday night, having called off her gig in Edinburgh the evening before thanks to a bout of laryngitis.
The chanteuse, 40, looked thrilled to be well again as she showed off her newly-chopped pixie haircut - which she revealed the night before was in fact a wig.
She donned a black leather dress, which fell to just below her knees, and was adorned with a bow and a contrasting white muslin embellishment at the front.

Laryngitis is when your voice box or vocal cords in the throat become irritated or swollen.
It usually goes away by itself within 1 to 2 weeks and although the main symptom is a common cold, Paloma said it's enough to stop you doing what you love.
'The common cold is fine if you aren’t a singer but if you are it always turns into laryngitis and stops you doing what you love,' she tweeted.
