Lee Ryan has reportedly delayed going to rehab in order to perform at an upcoming gig.
The Blue singer promised fans he'd seek help for alcohol abuse and depression after being arrested on suspicion of drink-driving at the weekend, but he's now postponed his treatment for a concert with his bandmates in Moldova.
The 'One Love' singers have been booked to perform at an awards ceremony on Thursday (17.04.14) in the Moldovan capital of Chișinău, and Lee doesn't want to let his fans in the country down, according to The Sun newspaper.
However, the 30-year-old star and his bandmates Duncan James, Anthony Costa and Simon Webbe are said to be desperate to earn some money from the gig after making no secret of the fact they are struggling financially.
A source said: "Lee is flying out to earn a few extra quid."
Following his arrest in the early hours of Saturday morning (12.04.14), Lee was charged with criminal damage and failing to provide a specimen, and police are awaiting the results of tests on a suspected drug they seized.
Lee - who faces court next month - described the incident as a "wake up call" and promised fans he would seek help.
He said previously: "I've finally admitted I need help to face some demons I've been hiding from."

Barbara Windsor will never to return to 'EastEnders'.
The 76-year-old actress, who left the show in 2010 and made a brief comeback last year, has ruled out reprising her role as matriarch Peggy Mitchell in the soap because she wants to focus on life with her husband Scott Mitchell.
She told The Sun newspaper: "At the moment I am very happy. I do Radio 2 which is great, I am doing a one-off about the film studios at Elstree and I quite like that.
"I can be Barbara, just talking about the films. I quite like being me. I don't want to start learning lines again. I am 76 and I think that's it. I had no life with Scott when I was doing 'EastEnders'.
"We've just come back from Broadway. We go and see all the shows. I am a theatre-goer now. 'EastEnders' is doing well anyway -- they're doing fantastic."
Barbara admits when she first left the BBC One show four years ago she was determined to go back into theatre, but she's since changed her mind.
She explained: "When I came out of 'EastEnders' the first thing I said was, 'I have to go back into theatre,' and I did.
"I went up to Bristol and did pantomime. I did dance, tap and everything possible to get it out of my system.
"And I thought, 'That's it now, I don't have to do theatre any more'."

'Britain's Got Talent' bosses are worried the show could prove too much for dancing pensioner Paddy Jones.
The 79-year-old great-grandmother received the first golden buzzer of the series last weekend, which means she's automatically through to the live semi-finals, after she wowed judges with her impressive Salsa moves.
However, with the bookies claiming she's the favourite to win, producers are keen to reduce the level of stress she's under by cutting down her commitments.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "They will work with her to make sure she deals with the pressure of being the early favourite."
Show organisers have also arranged a napping area with a medic on standby and will give her the best time slot during the live semi-finals to suit her needs.
The insider explained: "Despite her energetic performance, Paddy is still a 79 year old and so producers are sensitive to her needs."
Meanwhile, Paddy and her dance partner Nico, who have won a Spanish talent show in the past, are considering performing to an English track in the next round.
Paddy said: "It's down to Nico what we do for the semi-final but he has suggested we do something a little more English -- maybe dance to a pop song so the audience can sing along."

Tom Baker would blow up the BBC if had the chance.
The former 'Doctor Who' star has joked if he was presented with the opportunity to destroy the corporation that made him a star he thinks he would.
While being quizzed about one of his most famous scenes as the Time Lord in 'Genesis of the Daleks' where he has the option to cross two wires and destroy the alien race, he said: "I like that one very much, because of the big speech part and the line 'do I have the right?' If somebody gave me two wires now and said, 'If you touch them together you could blow up the whole BBC,' I think I might be tempted, yeah. But I'd only be tempted for a second - and then I'd do it!"
Tom also quipped that some of the BBC bosses he worked with during his tenure as the Doctor from 1974 to 1981 were more frightening than the monsters he encountered on the sci-fi show.
Speaking to promote the launch of the classic series of 'Doctor Who' on The Horror Channel, the 80-year-old actor jested: "The thing with the BBC is you've really got to be able to suspend your disbelief, I mean anything can happen at the BBC. The monsters on 'Doctor Who' were never so amazing as the monsters on the sixth floor as I remember them. There were some very improbable looking people there. Who would make signs and nudge you and things."
Tom made a surprise return to 'Doctor Who' for last year's 50th anniversary special appearing opposite Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and admits he would be open to returning the series again in the future.
He said: "I turned down 'The Five Doctors' (20th anniversary episode) because it wasn't long since I'd left - I had left 'Doctor Who' because I think I'd run my course. I didn't want to play 20 per cent of the part. I didn't fancy being a feed for other Doctors - in fact, it filled me with horror.
"Now, of course, if someone asked me to do a scene with some other Doctors, I think, if they let me tamper with the script, it would probably be quite droll. I would think about that, yes."
The Horror Channel has completed a deal with BBC Worldwide to broadcast 30 classic 'Doctor Who' adventures and they kick off this Friday (18.04.14) with the very first story 'An Unearthly Child', starring William Hartnell as the Doctor.
This will be followed by a special 'Who On Horror' weekend marathon featuring a story of each of the first seven Doctors shown in chronological order.

Michael Le Vell is reportedly preparing to leave rehab.
The 'Coronation Street' star sought professional help after he admitted to snorting cocaine during his child abuse trial last year, but he's now said to be ready to leave the clinic.
A friend of the actor - who was cleared of all charges - told The Sun newspaper: "He now feels better than he has done in years. He really believes he's turned a corner this time."
Michael - who has been temporarily written out of Corrie storylines - hasn't found his treatment easy but is said to be desperate to prove he's ready to return to his role as car mechanic Kevin Webster on the ITV soap.
The pal continued: "Michael has found rehab a tough slog.
"He realised it was probably his last chance with Coronation Street bosses and wanted to give it his best shot."
The 49-year-old soap star told those closest to him that he needed space during his time in rehab so that he could put all of his energy into getting better.
The source added: "He purposefully asked friends and family to stay away so he could be totally focused.
"Apart from the odd phone call, he has had no contact with his family or friends."
Michael made his return to Weatherfield last month, but has been written out of the soap again so that he can focus on his treatment.

'Coronation Street's Maria Connor's behaviour is set to become "erratic and unpredictable" in coming weeks.
The hairdresser - played by Samia Ghadie - takes comfort from her former lover Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and his girlfriend Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) after she caught her boyfriend Marcus Dent (Charlie Condou) having an affair with Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) earlier this month.
Speaking to ITV.com, Samia said: "Her behaviour becomes a bit more erratic, Marcus has gone off so she's happy she doesn't have to see him every day, but she does have to see Todd. That's not easy for her, that makes her behaviour a little bit unpredictable and her friends are concerned about her."
However, the blonde beauty takes things too far when she pretends to be Tyrone's psycho ex-partner Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede), who has just been released from prison, by sending him text messages signed off with "K".
Samia explained: "She's been getting a lot of support from Tyrone and Fiz, but she's been getting the wrong idea of Tyrone's support and starts seeing it more than it is.
"It's so far from right, it's so wrong. Maria opened a whole can of worms with this one. There's going to be more drama to come, so stay tuned."

Lucy Watson claims she's only ever had three boyfriends.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star - who has previously dated her co-stars Spencer Matthews and Jamie Laing - admits she's quite "picky" when it comes to dating people and she'd only ever strike up a relationship with someone if there's an "electric chemistry" between them.
She said: "I'm very picky about who I go out with.
"I've only ever had three boyfriends and there has to be an electric chemistry."
However, the brunette beauty, who recently admitted she dressed up as a sexy police woman for her ex-partner, becomes quite "exotic" when she's got a boyfriend.
When asked about her recent police woman confession, she told new! magazine: "Only when I'm in a relationship! It's not like that when I'm single. I'm like a granny - I never go out, I never drink and I'm always at home with my dog.
"But I become quite exotic when I have a boyfriend. I enjoy pleasing my partner."
Despite being keen to flash the flesh in the bedroom, the 23-year-old star - who recently posted a picture of her bottom on Instagram - claims she's put on a bit of weight.
She said: "I haven't been working out much lately. I've been busy. My jeans are a bit tighter, so I know I've put on weight. I'm happy, though."

'The Jump' star Melinda Messenger was worried other contestants would think her romance with instructor Warren Smith was "unprofessional".
The 43-year-old TV personality struck up a relationship with the sportsman on the reality show last year and, although the pair wanted to be honest with the other competitors, they were worried about how their behaviour would come across.
She explained: "We did have that conversation of 'How's this going to go down? What if they think it's unprofessional?' We were both there to do a job after all."
Warren agreed: "I was very conscious that it might be awkward. There was a really great energy all around of the 12 people I was coaching on the show and I didn't want the atmosphere to change.
"But at the same time we wanted to be honest and upfront because that's what we're like as people, anyway, it's the core of our relationship."
However, Melinda and Warren were thrilled when they found out the other stars were happy for them, especially Sinitta who noticed their chemistry before they did.
Melinda added to HELLO! magazine: "She [Sinitta] said all along there was something there, even when I couldn't see it. So she'd try and encourage things along."
