UK singer cancels appearance at All Together Now due to 'continued illness'
British singer Michael Kiwanuka has cancelled his appearance at All Together Now due to "continued illness". The 38-year-old singer had a string of festival appearances planned for next month, including We Out Here and Victorious in the UK, All Together Now this weekend, Hungary's Sziget Festival and Pukkelpop in Belgium, but he has announced he will no longer be appearing at the events, or supporting Mumford and Sons across North America in October due to unspecified health issues. The Mercury Prize-winning artist was set to play the main stage at All Together Now at 9.30pm on Sunday. A statement shared to his Instagram Story read: "We are so sorry to announce that due to continued illness, and on the advice of doctors, Michael will sadly be unable to perform at the rest of his scheduled festival performances throughout the rest of the summer and the shows in North America in October (including the support tour with Mumford + Sons). "We know this is disappointing news to hear, and nobody is more disappointed and saddened than Michael to no longer be taking to the stage as planned. "Love and thanks to everyone for their understanding." (Image: PA) All Together Now said on Instagram: "We are sad to announce that @michaelkiwanuka will not be able to perform any of his upcoming shows due to illness. "We send our love to Michael and wish him a speedy recovery and hope to welcome him to the festival in the future." While many of the events have revealed they are seeking replacement acts, Victorious festival in Portsmouth have already announced that Kaiser Chiefs will be stepping into Michael's slot. They wrote on their Facebook page: "Unfortunately, due to ongoing illness and on the advice of doctors, Michael Kiwanuka will no longer be able to perform at any of his scheduled festival appearances this summer, including his set at Victorious. "We're sending Michael our very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, and we hope to see him back on stage soon. "In the meantime, we're thrilled to announce that the incredible Kaiser Chiefs will be stepping in to perform in his place. Known for their high-energy performances, you won't want to miss them ahead of Queens of the Stone Age on the main stage!" Meanwhile, the Cold Little Heart hitmaker recently told how winning the Mercury Prize in 2019 for his Kiwanuka album helped him feel more free because he stopped "desperately" seeking validation. He told the BBC: "It sort of woke me up. "I'd been desperately looking for approval from my peers and certain [media] outlets - and the Mercury freed me from that desperation. "It allowed me to feel that, actually, I just want to make the records that come naturally." Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.

WATCH — Proposal at Mumford & Sons Dublin concert melts hearts online
Mumford & Sons fans were left in tears on Friday night following an impromptu proposal during the band's Dublin gig. Thousands of concert goers flooded Malahide Castle ready to sob and sway to the likes of 'Little Lion Man' and 'I will wait', when one young man got down on one knee and popped the all important question. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW Racking up over 14K views overnight, many are eager to know the identity of the mystery love birds. Mumford and Sons fans were left in tears on Friday night following an impromptu proposal during the band's Dublin gig. Pic:The short clip, which was shared by TikTok user @clairegibz, sees the young couple being cheered on by their fellow concert goers during the monumental moment. Drapped in raincoats, the emotional pair embraced in the muddy lawn as those around them whipped out their phones and toasted the young couple with plastic glasses of beer. They can be seen sharing an intimate kiss as the band's frontman Marcus Mumford serenades them in the background. The identity of the mystery lovebirds has yet to be revealed, with Claire captioning the sweet video: 'Crying about this, never been so happy for people I don't know, proper buzzing Hahahha. Congrats guys.' In true Irish style, Mumford and Sons played an impromptu show at the beer garden in O' Donoghues pub in Dublin, before their appearance in Malahide, surprising and delighting Friday evening punters with an acoustic rendition of some of their biggest hits. A video of the band playing Little Lion Man was shared to TikTok by Universal Music, with some fans of the band who were in the city (just not the pub) raging that they missed out on the intimate gig. 'One day I'll be in the right place at the right time,' one person wrote, while another commented 'damn it I should have stayed in Dublin just 1 extra night.' Another person who was in the beer garden managed to get several videos of the secret gig, where Marcus joked that the fans needed to 'play a game of shut the f**k up' (granted, it was probably necessary as there were no mics), before the crowd sang along with them and regaled them in an olé olé chant.

Mumford and Sons treat stunned punters at Dublin pub with surprise gig
Mumford and Sons stunned the punters at a Dublin pub after playing a surprise gig ahead of their massive Malahide show on Friday. The I Will Wait songwriters took to the stage at the famous Malahide Castle on Friday to perform a sold out show to 20,000 fans, but ahead of the show the UK folk outfit popped into an iconic Dublin city pub. On Thursday, the trio headed to the beloved O'Donoghue's Pub on Merrion Row to play a pop-up show for patrons, Dublin Live reports. There was an exciting atmosphere in the beer garden at O'Donoghue's as the group treated pub goers to a set of their classics and newer hits. The pub posted a video of the crowd belting their hearts out as the group played. One delighted fan commented on the post: "Just unbelievable!! Came over from the UK to see them tonight at Malahide Castle and got a text saying about them being at yours last night so headed over and there they were …….. life made". The outfit played a sold out show on Friday as part of their ongoing European and North American tour, following the release of their latest album Rushmere earlier this year. Gates for the show opened up at 4pm for the tens of thousands of punters ready for the show. The first opening act kicked off at 5pm, with Divorce, Odhran Murphy and Lisa Hannigan all performing before Mumford & Sons took to the stage.

If you'd like to be there, single and multi-day Under The Big Sky passes can be picked up here. Mumford and Sons set list In tandem with the release of the album, Mumford and Sons performed a handful of intimate pre-tour shows this spring. Based on our findings, the final gig went down at New York's Brooklyn Paramount Theater on March 26. For a closer look at what the band played that evening, take a look at what Set List FM reported. 01.) 'Rushmere' 02.) 'Babel' 03.) 'Little Lion Man' 04.) 'Lover of the Light' 05.) 'Caroline' 06.) 'Where It Belongs' 07.) 'Ghosts That We Knew' 08.) 'Awake My Soul' 09.) 'I Will Wait' 10.) 'Delta' 11.) 'The Wolf' Encore 12.) 'Timshel' 13.) 'Ditmas' 14.) 'Malibu' 15.) 'The Boxer' (Simon & Garfunkel cover) 16.) 'The Cave' Mumford and Sons new music On March 28, Mumford and Sons released their fifth studio album 'Rushmere,' which is named after where the band members first met in Wimbledon, U.K. And, for a record by one of the world's biggest bands, it's not long. In fact, the ten-track record is quite lean and mean, clocking in at a surprisingly brief 34 minutes and 22 seconds. This bloat-free offering starts small with the unassuming 'Malibu,' which builds into a longing chorus complete with an anthemic piano accompaniment. From there, Mumford employs his trademark yelp for the upbeat, hard-charging 'Caroline.' The switch from inspirational ballad to friendly jam is proof positive that the band still knows what make them so special- emotional epics and singalongs. They combine those qualities to great effect in the title track 'Rushmere.' The jangling three-minute tune is a ramshackle good time in step with the group's biggest hits. It's intimate, it's epic, it's inviting, it's everything you want a Mumford and Sons song to be complete with an unforgettable refrain — 'light me up I'm wasted in the dark/rush me a restless heart to the end' — that you won't be able to stop wailing in your best Marcus impression. Other standouts here include the funky, minimalistic, hand-clapping 'Truth' (arguably our favorite on the record, for the record), the so delicate it might wither away 'Where It Belongs' and 'Carry On,' which perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of 'closing up shop.' If you'd like to hear the short yet epic album for yourself, you can find 'Rushmere' here.
