10/29/2010
. (Gibson) Manic Street Preachers have been forced to postpone two London gigs after singer James Dean Bradfield fell ill with acute laryngitis.

The Brixton Academy dates postponed are for tonight (October 28) and Friday (29) and have been moved to January 21 and January 22, 2011.

BBC Newsbeat reports that Bradfield said in a statement, "I would like to apologize to the fans. Nothing makes us feel worse than having to postpone a show. We were particularly looking forward to playing two nights at Brixton as we have such special memories of previous gigs at this venue. To say we are gutted about this situation is putting it mildly." - more on this story
