Gossip have been forced to cancel a show in Birmingham on Sunday (November 29) due to illness.

Singer Beth Ditto has been advised that consecutive shows are contributing to a “throat condition”, which has also promoted a gig in Belgium tonight to be axed.

However, the band are still scheduled to play The Forum in London on Saturday (November 28).

A statement released on the band's behalf said: “Gossip send their apologies and look forward to seeing you soon.”

Refunds for the cancelled shows are available from point of purchase.
