Razorlight gig is called off

Rockers Razorlight have postponed tonight's gig at Wolverhampton Civic Hall because frontman Johnny Borrell is ill, it was announced this afternoon.

The band, whose hits include Golden Touch and America, was also forced to scrap a date in Lincoln last night due to a problem with Borrell's voice.

Fans are being urged to keep hold of their tickets pending an announcement of a new date later this week.

The band's spokesman Gordon Duncan said: "Despite being close to losing his voice, Johnny battled through a lengthy set for the previous date, Cambridge Corn Exchange, however, by Sunday afternoon it became apparent that he wouldn't be able to sing at the Lincoln show and a doctor was called in.

"Johnny, Andy, Bjorn and Carl were hugely looking forward to the gig in Wolverhampton and would like to apologise to all those who bought tickets.

The band hope to announce replacement dates for both Lincoln and Wolverhampton during the course of this week."
