He wrote: '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 mean 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.'

Yungblud shares the brutal way he found out about Ozzy Osbourne's death
Ozzy Osbourne's death came as a shock to many but while the rest of the world found out from the family's statement, Yungblud was told less gently. The Prince of Darkness died aged 76 from a heart attack on July 22 and was laid to rest days later in Birmingham. He had formed a close friendship with Yungblud, real name Dom Harrison, after crossing paths in 2022, becoming a mentor to the rising star. The pair were so close Dom was texting with the Black Sabbath icon up until his death, with Osbourne's son Jack having to break the news. 'I was texting him, then his son Jack texted me and said, 'He's gone.' I'm like, 'What?'' the 28-year-old star told The Sun. He explained that the past few weeks had been 'very weird to connect with', having performed with Osbourne at the Back to the Beginning concert in early July. 'You get to know someone personally, who you love. And then they leave,' Dom continued. 'Being around the family and being at the funeral, the amount of love there.' The funeral was an emotional affair with a procession through the streets of Osbourne's hometown, Birmingham, filled with fans paying tribute. His widow, Sharon Osbourne, was seen sobbing alongside their children as they approached Black Sabbath Bridge in a heartbreaking moment. Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo shared some insight into the private family funeral when Osbourne was buried on the grounds of his mansion. Speaking on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, the 60-year-old musician said: When Kelly was singing, her lyrics flew. Like the wind blew her lyrics away. It was almost like Ozzy was having fun with her. 'Geezer broke down in tears. He had a hard time, obviously, speaking. And then he came back up and he delivered an amazing eulogy. 'The sun actually came out, and then it was beautiful from that moment on.' Alongside Kelly, Dom was one of the chosen few who performed at the funeral, singing a rendition of Changes, which he also sang at the farewell gig. Dom has now released the live version of the 1972 solo track, with proceeds going to Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorns Children's Hospice. 'The best thing is that I got to honour my hero,' Dom shared in the interview. 'That's all I was thinking about. I was singing for one man there.' He had previously shared a snap of the iconic crucifix Osbourne often wore, which he passed on to the Abyss singer before his death. In his tribute to Osbourne, the singer said the crucifix was 'the most precious thing' he owned. 'I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room,' he penned alongside pictures of the duo backstage at the Back to the Beginning concert. More Trending 'But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't. I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.' Dom continued: 'You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. 'You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.' Got a story?

Ozzy Osbourne's six-word dig at Taylor Swift after being asked if he was a fan
Late rock icon Ozzy Osbourne was an unlikely fan of Taylor Swift, but he couldn't resist making a dig at the pop star during a resurfaced interview Before his tragic passing on last month, Ozzy Osbourne revealed his feelings about pop star Taylor Swift. During an interview at the 2014 Grammys, the self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness quipped a hilarious statement about the singer. Black Sabbath legends Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler scooped the Best Metal Performance award for God Is Dead. Whilst chatting to journalists after taking the top gong, the discussion took an unexpected turn. "You said you were a big fan of Taylor Swift," Butler joked. "Yes I did," Ozzy replied. "Yes, I am a big fan of Taylor Swift." Then he leaned forward and quipped: "Who the f**k is Taylor Swift?" The remark was clearly lighthearted, and Swift would go on to rule 2014 with her blockbuster record 1989, which stormed the Billboard 200's number one position for 11 weeks and boasted three chart-toppers including Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood. This comes as Taylor has today unveiled her brand new album alongside a striking image, as reported by the Mirror. Of course, Ozzy wasn't completely oblivious to her achievements back at the time of his comments. In reality, he had already encountered the pop royalty and had praised her enormously. That encounter surfaced later that year when Taylor appeared on The Talk. Sharon Osbourne recalled the moment her, Ozzy, and their daughter Kelly crossed paths with Taylor during a shopping trip in LA. Sharon recalled Ozzy being captivated by her as she quoted him saying: "Finally, out of all the young, new artists, I've finally found one that is a true superstar." Sharon went on: "He said he'd never met anyone that had the aura that you have, because your aura is one of elegance, and just pure, just genuine talent. And he said that you were like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, all rolled into one." Sharon then flipped the question back: "Now, what do you remember about my Ozzy?". The singer responded that his lovely comments were "the sweetest thing" and mentioned how reserved he appeared during their meeting. "He was too busy gazing at you!" Sharon joked. The Black Sabbath icon passed away on July 22, at the age of 76, with Sharon and children by his side. In his final years, Ozzy had been fighting poor health, which he had discussed openly, but had remained committed to reaching Villa Park for his last show just days before his death. Meanwhile, worldwide sensation Swift announced today on Thursday, August 14, the launch of her new album after weeks of rumours. The chart-topper made an appearance on a podcast alongside her partner, Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce, and his sibling Jason, with more than 1.3 million viewers watching the live broadcast. Despite being famously private and rarely giving interviews, the Bad Blood singer has shared some details about her upcoming album set to be released in October. The new record, penned during her Eras Tour and recorded in Sweden, will comprise 12 tracks, including a duet with Sabrina Carpenter. Discussing the album, Taylor revealed: "This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant."

A-level student fulfils promise to dying mother by securing place at Oxford
Gabrielle Morgan, 18, said she 'could practically hear (her mother) celebrating' with her when her offer came through to study modern languages at the University of Oxford. Gabrielle, from Newcastle, secured her place after achieving straight A* grades in English literature, Spanish and chemistry, along with an A* in an extended project qualification (EPQ), and will go on to study Spanish and beginners' Portuguese. Sisters Francesca Morgan (left), Gabrielle Morgan (right) and their mother Faustina (Darren Irwin Photography/PA) It comes a year after her sister Francesca achieved straight A* grades and secured a place at Cambridge to study natural sciences. The sisters were both home-schooled by their mother, Faustina, before joining Dame Allan's Schools. Ms Morgan, who moved from Malaysia to the UK in her early 20s, died from lung cancer in April last year. Gabrielle said: 'My mum was incredible, strong, organised, inspiring and a person of great faith. 'She supported every interest we had, helped us through our GCSEs and pushed us to work hard. 'She made me promise to keep working hard on my Oxford application no matter what happened. 'I could practically hear her celebrating with me when the offer came through. 'I know just how proud of me she is and I know she helped a lot, even though she wasn't here physically.' Gabrielle's promise to Ms Morgan carried her through an emotionally turbulent year – including a school trip to Valencia, during which she boarded a high-speed train to Madrid with director of sixth form Karen Fletcher to sit her Oxford admissions test. Gabrielle Morgan receives her A-level results at Dame Allan's Schools (Owen Humphreys/PA) Gabrielle, who is bilingual in English and Mandarin, said she has been passionate about languages and storytelling from a young age, and dreams of becoming an author. 'The literary world has always been central to my life,' she said. 'Tolkien is my favourite author – he studied and taught at Oxford and wrote the books that shaped my love of reading. That's why I decided to apply there.' Gabrielle said her standout moments at Dame Allan's, an independent school in Fenham, Newcastle, include performing Visiting Hours and Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran at school concerts in memory of her mother. 'She loved hearing me sing, so it felt special to sing for her in front of others,' she said. 'Those songs encapsulate what grief feels like.'
