Manic Street Preachers have just cancelled both of their London shows after James Dean Bradfield loses his voice. The band were scheduled to play London's O2 Brixton Academy tonight (Thursday October 28) and tomorrow (Friday October 29).
The Manics frontman has been diagnosed with acute laryngitis and has been ordered to rest his voice.
"I would like to personally apologise to the fans. Nothing makes us feel worse than having to postpone a show," James wrote in a statement. "We were particularly looking forward to playing two nights at Brixton as we have such special memories of previous gigs at this venue. To say we are gutted about this situation is putting it mildly!"
The show at the 02 Academy in Birmingham has been rescheduled for Tuesday 14th December. All tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date. If necessary, refunds are also available from point of purchase.
Tickets for tonight’s show at Brixton will be valid for a rescheduled date confirmed for Friday 21st January 2011 and tickets for tomorrow’s show will be valid for Saturday 22nd January 2011.
