Yungblud cancels major concert in Scotland due to painful health issue as he is ordered by doctors to stay in bed: 'I never wanna let any of you down'
The singer, 27, real name is Dominic Harrison, has been diagnosed with tonsillitis and ordered to stay in bed for two days.
This means he won't be able to play his scheduled gig in Dundee at the Livehouse venue which should have taken place on Thursday night.
He penned on Instagram on Wednesday: 'Dundee, I have some bad news. This morning I was diagnosed with tonsillitis.
'I'm trying to get them out, but I need to find some time as obviously I'm on the road all the time.
'The doctor has asked me to stay in bed for two days to make sure I don't do any damage to my voice.
'I'm so sorry I never wanna let any of you down these intimate shows me so much to me. Being close to you all means so much to me.
'I'm gonna have to reschedule the show for a later date but I'll be there in Liverpool on Friday. Information will be provided in the coming days. I love you all.'
It comes as it was revealed that he will open his own London venue later this year at an iconic site.
The rocker is taking over 20 Denmark Street in Soho, which is the former home of Wunjo Guitar - now situated a few doors down - where musicians have bought their instruments since 2001, while Sir Elton John worked as a tea boy at the same building in the 1960s when it was the Mills Music office.
He told the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: 'I want people to hang out, meet and have a physical space to make real connections in this virtual world.'
Yungblud revealed he wants this club to be the first of many 'all over the world', and he already has some ideas for the décor.
He added: 'There will be a leopard-print pool table downstairs.
'My biggest dream is to have clubs all over the world where my fans can hang out, seven days a week, open all day and at night. London is hopefully just the first one.'
The 11 Minutes hitmaker - who returned for the second annual Bludfest event in Milton Keynes last month - also opened up about being part of 'uncle' Ozzy Osbourne's final live concert over the weekend.
Yungblud was on the stacked lineup for Saturday's Back To The Beginning show, which saw Ozzy reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Birmingham's Villa Park.
During the show, Yundblud joined a supergroup on stage to cover Sabbath classic Changes.
He gave the Paranoid icon a custom necklace three years after Ozzy gifted him his own cross on a chain.
He said: 'It was time for me to return the favour and let me know what he and the band means to me.
'I hope I can last as long in music as Ozzy has, because that's the dream for any artist.'
