The Verve Cancel Festival Date Due To Ill Richard Ashcroft

July 16, 2008
The Verve Cancel Festival Date Due To Ill Richard AshcroftThe Verve have been forced to cancel an appearance at a festival tonight (July 16th) because lead singer Richard Ashcroft has been taken ill.

Ashcroft is suffering from severe pharyngitis and a chest infection and has been advised to rest by doctors.

The band had been due to perform at the Italia Wave Festival in Livorno later.

In a statement on their website, the band said: “The Verve wish to apologise to any fans who have bought tickets and hope to be playing again soon".
