Joss Stone has had a 'little piece of her heart broken' after being deported from Iran during her world tour.
Wearing a white headscarf, the singer took to Instagram to tell her fans she wouldn't be performing and been booted out of the country.
She said: "We got detained and then we got deported."
In a post alongside the video, the Devon star wrote: "We were aware there couldn’t be a public concert as I am a woman and that is illegal in this country.
"Personally I don’t fancy going to an Iranian prison nor am I trying to change the politics of the countries I visit nor do I wish to put other people in danger.
"However, it seems the authority’s don’t believe we wouldn’t be playing a public show so they have popped us on what they call the ‘black list‘ as we found out when we turned up to the immigration hall."
The 32-year-old went on to say after long discussions with the 'most friendly, charming and welcoming immigration people' the decision was made to detain her and her crew for one night before deporting them in the morning.
"Of course I was gutted. So close yet so far, this moment broke a little piece of my heart."
The Right To Be Wrong singer later posted images of herself boarding a flight to Iran's Kish Island in the Persian Gulf, which is an economic free zone that allows travel by all nationalities but can also be a dangerous place for Westerners.
