George Ezra cancels another gig after manager says he's 'incredibly unwell'
George Ezra has been forced to cancel yet another gig just hours before he was due on stage after his manager revealed he has been “incredibly unwell” this week.
The Green, Green Grass singer has been suffering from acute vertigo, which has rendered him unable to take to the stage.
He was due to perform at the O2 Arena in London on Tuesday but was forced to pull out with just 90 minutes notice after his health diagnosis from a doctor was confirmed by his representatives.
The singer-songwriter, 29, had been due to perform in Leeds’ First Direct Arena tonight, but has cancelled with just six hours to spare.
In a statement issued on behalf of the star, it has been revealed the Shotgun singer has pulled out despite his symptoms “improving”.

The statement read: “Hi everyone, unfortunately although George’s symptoms are improving, he is still experiencing acute vertigo.
“Upon a further consultation with a doctor this morning, his show at the First Direct Arena in Leeds tonight will not be able to go ahead as planned.”
But its not all bad news for fans as George’s representatives announced that the two cancelled shows have already been rescheduled – and fans won’t have to wait long to see their favourite singer play live.
“Fortunately, we have been able to reschedule both of the postponed shows,” the statement confirmed.

Vertigo is often caused by inner ear problems, which affect balance, but can also be caused by migraines and medications.
According to the NHS, vertigo feels like you or everything around you is spinning – enough to affect your balance. It's more than just feeling dizzy.

Medics advice sufferers to lie still in a quiet, dark room to reduce the spinning feeling, move your head carefully and slowly during daily activities, and use a walking stick if you’re at risk of falling.
Sufferers are also advised to sit down straight away when they feel dizzy, not stretch their neck and not bend over to pick things up.
While most people with vertigo get better without treatment, sufferers are advised to call 999 or go to A&E if they experience double or loss of vision, hearing loss, trouble speaking or leg or arm weakness, numbness or tingling.
