Hurts have a run of shows this summer, including a major date at the O2 Academy Brixton in London on May 22.
But, Hurts' Adam Anderson will not be appearing at the duo's upcoming 'Happiness' anniversary shows so that he can focus on his mental health and wellbeing.
In an Instagram post Anderson explained: 'As many of you know I've been struggling with my mental health for years now.
'Sadly, due to my ongoing recovery, I have taken the very difficult decision to sit out all forthcoming HURTS shows this year and focus solely on my well-being.

"All shows will go ahead as planned with Theo taking centre stage and I couldn't be happier that they're taking place.'
Anderson then apologised to fans and said: 'You've supported me as an individual and the band for so many years and I have never taken it for granted.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori doubles down and reposts nude photo online after calls for 'public indecency arrest'
Bianca Censori has doubled down and reshared another nude photo after setting pulses raising last week. The Australian-born wife of rapper Kanye West left very little to the imagination when she shared a trio of racy photos to Instagram. Posted without comment, the trio of photos showed Censori, 30, leaving very little to the imagination in a pair of sheer pantyhose and a see-through black fishnet top. She finished her racy ensemble with a pair of glittering silver kitten-toe heels that featured a contrasting black lace-up design. The raven haired beauty left her long, jet black tresses down and, in addition to having wispy fringe covering her face, she finished her barely-there look with a pair of dark sunglasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Bizarrely, Censori deleted one of the three photos, only to reupload the racy image on Friday. Despite the eye-popping display being a 're-run', the image sent her 496,000 followers into a frenzy. Summing up the sentiment of many, one fan chimed in with a swooning: 'sure, I'll look at it again.' One eagle-eyed follower however was quick to point out the repetition with: 'Post a new pic or sum sheeesh or are u having another glitch moment?' It comes after Censori showed off her derriere in another X-rated snap, channelling her husband's ex-wife Kim Kardashian last month. She also faced backlash after baring her breasts in a see-through top, much like her most recent post during a public outing in Spain with the rapper. The 30-year-old wandered from stall to stall wearing a black fish net bra top with her nipples in full view while visiting the booths of an outdoor market in Mallorca. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. 'People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by,' one witness told 'Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. Spanish officials have enforced rules that allow women to sunbathe topless in public without fear of arrest, according to the Daily Record. Authorities can be fined up to £430,000 [$900,000 AUD] if they prevent women from going topless. However, Bianca's revealing look has been deemed ''inappropriate' and many have slammed her look. 'Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person asked. 'We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views.' 'How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non - celeb tried it, they would be arrested,' another asked. Censori has been married to West since December 2022 and, most recently, the pair have been entangled in rumours of marital woes. Following West's unhinged and offensive social media rants, they were reported to have called it quits for a bit before reuniting again in Spain. West's ex-wife Kardashian - whom he was married to from 2014 to 2022 - has also reportedly been 'going through hell' and has strengthened her security for her children in the aftermath. West and Kardashian share four kids — daughters North, 11, Chicago, six, and sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five.

I was in some discomfort but so hyped to do it and I didn't want to cancel. "The more I watch this show back I can see my brain working in complete overdrive trying not to blurt it all out. "Laughing and making jokes in hard times [handshake emoji] me. And I am in-fact under your bed.' The footage showed the pop star performing a stripped-back set and interacting with the crowd in between songs. Advertisement During the show, she asked the audience: 'Anyone here from Joe & The Juice?' "On my first album, Who You Are, I know a lot of people called it Who Are You, which completely changed the meaning. Who are you? Where have you been? Pet peeve - people asking me, 'Where have you been?' Where the f**k have you been?'" She added: 'Being truthful in who you are - not your mates or your family or everyone else, but like what you love and who you are. What makes you special. That's all I wanna focus on. 'And my huge, perfect t**s. You know what I mean?' Advertisement Despite being in pain, Jessie was full of energy, at one point quipping: 'I don't know why I'm w**king off the mic. "Okay, it's time for me to end this set because I'm getting too wild.' Jessie J reveals she's been diagnosed with breast cancer & will have surgery She wrapped up the set by asking the crowd if anyone had any questions - and then answering herself with: 'Under your bed. I gotta sing this song on repeat.' It was on Wednesday that the Price Tag songstress revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and would undergo surgery in days.

In an emotional post she told fans: "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer." She added: "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early'." 7 The singer is due to perform in London next month Credit: Getty - Contributor Advertisement 7 She told fans she was hesitant about going public Credit: Getty 7 The singer said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London on June 15. "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job," she joked. Advertisement She told fans she was hesitant going public about her diagnosis but that she decided to be "open" for multiple reasons. She said: "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book." The Grammy nominee, who also shared her ADHD and OCD diagnoses with fans earlier this year, added that she hoped to show solidarity with other cancer patients. Advertisement She said: "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse—that's the bit that kills me." Referring to her latest tracks No Secrets and Living my Best Life, she said "you can't make it up" - explaining she had no idea about her diagnosis at the time of recording. Fans and fellow celebs jumped into the comments to share their support. TV and radio personality Gaby Roslin said: "Sending you so much love and enormous hugs". Advertisement One fan added: "Love you and your light! This won't dim you down". While another said: "You are not alone. May your recovery be gentle, peaceful, and full of healing. Sending you a tight hug and all the love my heart can carry." Her post read: "No (more) Secrets and is it too soon to do a remix called 'Living my breast life'? What are the signs of breast cancer? BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer. If it's treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, but it's always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following: a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood) a lump or swelling in either of your armpits dimpling on the skin of your breasts a rash on or around your nipple a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast Source: NHS "All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times) This last 2 months have been so amazing, Advertisement "And having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug. "Also not getting massive t*ts. Or am I? No no… I must stop joking." Health struggles This wasn't the first time Jessie had opened up about her health struggles. Last year, she opened up about her ADHD and OCD diagnoses, which she said were highlighted when she became a mum to her son Sky. Advertisement She previously said online: 'Having a baby has, let's say… exposed it a lot more which was comforting in a way, as it made it feel less heavy and scary.' "But also in moments has made me feel like I can't talk about it. F*** that. Here I am talking about it." On ADHD, she wrote: 'I feel like it's a superpower as long as you look at it from the right perspective and have the right people around you that can navigate it with you.' "It's made me re think about my whole life," she said. Advertisement "The way I've been, the way I deal with things. The relationships I have had. How I work and how I love. "It's empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time. I have always been honest in the journey I'm going through in life. Jessie J "If there is one thing social media has given me, it's the chance to relate, connect and heal with strangers that have kind hearts and are going through a similar thing. "I have always been honest in the journey I'm going through in life. Advertisement "And I know there are so many people that are going through this same thing and I'm honestly just reaching out to hold your hand and because I need mine held too." On OCD, she reflected on cleaning her shoes with a toothbrush as a child and trying to rely on lists 'to not feel like life will crumble'. In 2021, the Grammy nominated singer also revealed she struggled with acid reflux. Taking to social media she told fans: 'I am doing a reflux acid test for 24 hours (why I have a tube up my nose). I am going to blame that as the reason why this [video] is so bad.' Advertisement This followed a string of other health complications in 2017, which she hinted at in an interview. The singer told the Daily Star Sunday: "In the two years that I did The Voice in Australia, I was diagnosed with some health issues that I'm not ready to talk about that I had to really face as a woman." Getting back into the studio Her cancer revelation comes just months after the Sun revealed the singer was preparing to make her comeback after teaming up with Adele's favourite songwriting partner Ryan Tedder. An insider said: 'Jessie has recorded a string of new songs and has her fifth album ready to go. Advertisement 'She's been through some seismic changes in her life over the past couple of years, most notably becoming a mum, and it's inspired her to get back into the studio. 'Jessie spent time writing with Ryan, who wrote her song I Want Love, and they've come up with some amazing new tunes. 'It has been a long time coming but the timing had to be right. 'She didn't want to keep churning out record after record, and wanted it to feel authentic and real. Advertisement 'Jessie couldn't be more excited to share what she has been working on with her fans and she will be announcing her first song in the spring.' Jessie's last album, R.O.S.E, was released in four parts in 2018 but failed to have the impact the ex-Voice UK coach had hoped for. In 2023, she split from Republic Records after 17 years and told fans she was looking for a fresh start. Becoming a mum to son Sky was also a driving force. Advertisement She said at the time: 'There's no negative spin, nothing's happened, it's not dramatic. 'It's just me literally saying, 'This doesn't feel right' and it hasn't for years.' 7 Jessie has previously opened up about her health struggles Credit: Corbis - Getty 7 The diagnosis comes just a month after the release of two new songs Credit: Getty
