Subject: Wet Wet Wet cancel their first gig in 30 years after Marti Pellow is taken ill
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/09/16 at 10:44 am
Wet Wet Wet have cancelled their first gig in 30 years after singer Marti Pellow was taken ill.
The Scottish band had been due to perform in Cardiff this evening but have called off the show with just hours to spare.
The Love Is All Around hitmakers posted on their Facebook page this afternoon: "It is with massive regret that due to Marti being taken ill, tonight's performance at Motorpoint Arena Cardiff has been cancelled.
"This is the first show in our 30-year history that has been cancelled due to ill health, and unfortunately it will not be possible to reschedule this particular show.
"The remaining shows on the tour will not be affected."
Ticket holders are being advised to go back to their point of purchase for a refund and the band say other dates on their The Big Picture tour will be unaffected.
A spokesperson for Motorpoint Arena Cardiff posted: "We're sorry to announce that Marti has been taken ill.
"Ticket holders will receive refunds - please go back to your point of purchase."

They had a cover of the Troggs' song, "Love Is All Around," which was one of the most gigantic singles of the 90s in their native UK, though it only achieved marginal success in the US. The song appeared on the Four Weddings and a Funeral soundtrack.

It topped the UK Singles Chart after just under three weeks and, fuelled by its appearance in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, remained there for 15 consecutive weeks, the second longest stay at the top of that chart to date (beaten only by "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams, which topped the chart for 16 weeks).
