In the wake of a painful divorce, Katy Perry told fans on Twitter she wouldn't be able to make it to Wednesday's People's Choice Awards.

"Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the People's Choice Awards. I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS," the Firework singer, who's nominated for seven honors, tweeted Monday.

It's been a whirlwind month for the songstress: her estranged husband, Get Him To The Greek star Russell Brand, filed for divorce December 30; and her deeply-religious parents Keith and Mary, delivering a sermon at Westlake, Ohio's Church on the Rise last week, reportedly made anti-Semitic comments to the congregation, furthering adding to her stress.
