That is to say - The Zutons have had to cancel tonight's show at the Shepherds Bush Empire, and their up-coming Irish dates (Derry, Belfast, Dublin) - because drummer Sean Payne has been struck down with a severe viral infection.
Frontman Dave McCabe told reporters: " We're really gutted and distraught about it. The tour has been going so well and we've really been enjoying every night. There's nothing we can do about it.
There wasn't enough time to get a stand-in for Sean. We promise we'll try and reschedule them for as soon as is humanly possible."
