James Arthur cancels appearances due to “acute exhaustion”
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 25 November 2013
Noted homophobe and ‘X-Factor’ winner James Arthur has cancelled all appearances this week, due to “acute exhaustion”.
In a statement published on Facebook, JAHQ said: “Unfortunately James Arthur has been diagnosed with acute exhaustion and instructed to rest for several days by his doctor. Regretfully, he has been forced to cancel all engagements during this period. James would like to apologise to his fans for any disappointment caused to them by these cancellations and he hopes to get back to full health as soon as possible”.
As previously reported, Arthur was kept busy last week after some people mistakenly (according to him) thought that the line “You probably want to put your stinky dick in me, you fucking queer” in a rap he recorded was somehow homophobic. After failing to convince people that they were wrong about the lyrics, he quit Twitter, only to return for a public argument with fellow ‘X’ contestant Lucy Spraggan.
Though aside from that, the thing that’s probably really tired him out is hitting the retweet button on Twitter every few seconds so that we all know that some people are still tweeting about how great he is.
