David Bowie can't make Roskilde on Friday. In his place the organisers have announced Slipknot will replace him.
Bowie's performance has now been cancelled because of his shoulder injury. The singer had a cut short a show in Prague last Friday and was hospitalised after the gig. A trapped nerve was said to be the cause of his injury.
Shows in Vienna and Salzburg this week were cancelled and now Roskilde is out as well.
The Bowie website now reports "It is with much regret that we have to announce another cancellation due to David's continued condition. The situation is reviewed daily and David's doctor has decided that the performance at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark on Friday can not now go ahead".
"We are obviously very sorry for any hardship caused to those of you that had already arranged travel, etc., and while we understand your disappointment, it's clear from your sympathetic messages that you do understand it would be self-defeating for David to perform again before he is 100% fit".
"We are also sorry to have to report that, being a festival show, refunds for this cancellation will not be available. We will continue to give you news of any further developments as we get them".
The next scheduled performance for David Bowie is The Werchter Festival in Belguim on July 4.
