Just saw a Twitter feed that supposedly came from FR24 that SQ305, operated by 9V-SWZ, is returning to LHR about 2 hours into the flight, somewhere over Romania. Reason was unknown at the time.

SQ216 | 26MAR (PER-SIN) operated by 9V-SCK has been delayed due to bird strike. The aircraft is scheduled to depart on 27MAR as follows:
SQ9216 PER1523 - 2028SIN
SQ034|23APR (SIN-SFO) operated by 9V-SGE diverted to HND. Flight will continue to SFO on 24APR with following schedule:
SQ9034 HND1700 - 0945SFO
SQ9033 SFO1115 - 1855SIN
SQ325|27APR (FRA-SIN) operated by 9V-SJA was cancelled or delayed (not sure what SQ called it). Left FRA this morning (28 Apr) at 6:50am local time and on way to SIN now.
Nothing wrong with the aircraft, but SQ326 on 27 APR left SIN ~2hrs late due to bad weather stopping loading at first. Then due to delay aircraft missed slot and a new flight plan had to be filed and if I heard correctly, India was not approving the flyover (??? odd one) so SQ needed to plan to fly around it avoiding the airspace and for that needed to add a few extra tons of fuel. All on 2hrs, crew handled it well.
A/C got into FRA around 10:45pm local time and given FRA has a night flight curfew from midnight onwards I think they couldn't turn the a/c around in time. Voila, cancelled.
SQ9451 was cancelled as the stop in CMB was no longer required.
9V-SMR operated JNB-SIN direct as SQ479 on 30th April.
Looks like they are planning it today as CPT-JNB-DUR-SIN (SQ9453) which will be quicker, but hopefully not necessary again if they can pick up enough fuel in JNB.
