Yard Act have cancelled their scheduled performance in Newcastle tonight (March 1) due to illness.The band are currently out on a headline tour of the UK in support of their debut studio album, ‘The Overload’, which was released on January 21.In a statement posted on social media today, Yard Act frontman James Smith told fans that he’d been “battling a sickness bug since Sunday” after performing a homecoming show in Leeds the night before.As a result, the group have been forced to scrap their gig at Newcastle venue The Cluny this evening.“Was hunkered down in the hopes I would’ve shaken it by now, but I still can’t move an inch without running to the toilet.
I’m gutted,” Smith explained.I hate canceling shows, I'm so sorry. We are working on a reschedule if you hold tight or you can get a refund from point of purchase too.
Hoping we will be able to be back on the road for Edinburgh tomorrow but right now I need to stay in bed shaking and depressed.
