Example issues apology after cancelling gig last minute after Glastonbury
Singer Example was forced to issue an apology to fans after cancelling his performance in Aberdeen just hours after jumping around on stage at Glastonbury Example issued an apology to fans after he was forced to cancel his performance in Aberdeen - the day after his gig at Glastonbury. The 43 year old singer, who shot to fame in 2010 with his hit album Won't Go Quietly, claimed that he suffered from sound issues while on stage at Glastonbury which caused his voice to strain. And the next day, just before he was due on stage in Aberdeen, he said he realised his voice had gone and was "absolutely gutted." Example, who was born Elliot John Gleave, had performed on the Shangri-La stage on Friday. Penning his apology to his adoring fans, he said: "During my set at Glastonbury, we experienced some unexpected sound issues that forced me to push my voice much harder than usual." He added: "I could feel it starting to go, so we made the difficult decision to cut the set short by 20 minutes to protect it ahead of today's performance at Granite City Festival Aberdeen." He continued: "I left the site immediately after the show and arrived at Gatwick by 7am, managing to get a few hours' sleep before my flight to Aberdeen. " He went on to say: "Unfortunately when I woke up, my voice was completely gone." He conclude his apology saying:"I hate cancelling shows - over the past 21 years, I've played 1,534 gigs and only ever cancelled 11. " " Scotland has always been my favourite place to perform and this was an incredibly hard decision to make.," he said. To everyone who was planning to see me today - and to the Granite City Festival team - I'm truly sorry. We'll make it up to you, E x." Aware his explanation as to why he cancelled his Aberdeen gig, it seems he feared that he was laying blame on the production team at Glastonbury. And so he quickly wrote: "This isn't a dig at the production crew. These things just happen sometimes." He went on to say: "One of the smaller stages at Glastonbury. Except when we turn up. " Thanking the organisers, he said: "Honestly thank you so much for having me last night. No artists make any money at Glastonbury. And that's fine. It's one of the most magical places on earth." He added: "I still want Pyramid stage. But I'm not going away just yet. I have patience. Gotta rest up so I can fly back to Australia tomorrow and be a professional Dad. Big love. E x."

British singer Example forced to cancel gig just hours after performing at Glastonbury as he apologises to fans

In a statement to his fans, the musician said: 'During my set at Glastonbury, we experienced some unexpected sound issues that forced me to push my voice much harder than usual. 'I could feel it starting to go, so we made the difficult decision to cut the set short by 20 minutes to protect it ahead of today's performance at Granite City Festival Aberdeen.

Five months earlier, the musician revealed his nine year marriage to Erin - an Australian actress - was over, with the former couple focused on raising their two sons, Evander, ten, and Ennio, 7. Addressing the separation in a joint statement, they wrote: 'At the start of the UK summer we decided to separate. We have had an amazing 11 years together, but just a few too many adventures. Example announced his relationship with Daisy, who bears a striking resemblance to his ex-wife, in March 2023. 'Obviously we spent a lot of time behind the scenes trying to figure things out, but we came to the realisation that perhaps our time as a couple had just come to a natural end. 'So we have decided to go our separate ways whilst there is still an abundance of love and respect for one another. 'We have been Co-parenting happily and effectively now for almost half a year and our boys are surrounded with love.'
