The Zutons have been forced to cancel their show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire tomorrow (Tuesday 26th October) as well as the remaining dates on their current UK tour. Drummer Sean Payne was struck down by a severe viral infection at the weekend. Although sick, he played through the set in Sheffield on Saturday. He was unable to get out of bed the following day and a doctor advised him not to perform on the remaining dates. Their Cambridge show last night was also cancelled.
The band are extremely upset about having to reschedule the dates. Lead singer Dave McCabe had this to say, " We’re really gutted and distraught about it. The tour has been going so well and we’ve really been enjoying every night. There’s nothing we can do about it. There wasn’t enough time to get a stand-in for Sean. We promise we’ll try and reschedule them for as soon as is humanly possible."
