Now, it was one thing when the liquidation of gig promoters John Hessenthaler Productions Limited meant a Status Quo gig had to be cancelled, but now three McFly concerts have been canned, and that's serious. Yep, McFly were due to play three Hessenthaler promoted events in Ipswich, Romsey and Exeter, but now, with attempts to find alternative funding unsuccessful, all three gigs have been cancelled.
The announcement from the McFly camp follows that confirmation last week that a Status Quo concert due to take place at Hatton House in Warwick at the end of the month was being cancelled as a result of John Hessenthaler Productions' liquidation.
Spokesmen for both McFly and Status Quo have apologised for the cancellations, stressing that they are completely out of the control of the respective artists. Meanwhile the administrator dealing with the liquidation, Ensors Chartered Accountants of Ipswich, have said they will be writing to all ticket holders to explain the procedure for claiming back their money.
But don't worry too much - we hear a rumour that a Hessenthaler promoted Will Young concert may have been rescued by a last minute sponsorship package, so everything is alright with the world again.
