The previously reported benefit gig being staged by the Drowned In Sound people as a tribute to the late Elliot Smith has had to be cancelled after some key acts pulled out of the event at the last minute. Refunds on all tickets will be available shortly.
DiS's Sean Adams told CMU: "Apologies to all the acts who were booked to play and to everyone who bought tickets. Please accept our sincerest apologies, we're heartbroken it isn't going ahead too. We'd like to take this opportunity to encourage all our readers to make a donation (no matter how small) to the Elliott Smith Foundation, which this evening was raising money for. Please take a moment of your time to go http://sweetaddy.org/?page_id=90. Thank you".
