Overview
THE STREETS have been forced to cancel two gigs this weekend after their bass player was diagnosed with swine flu.
The group had been due to play in Leicester, England today and Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow, but they had to cancel after Wayne Vibes fell ill.
He is the second member of the band to contract the virus after frontman Mike Skinner was only recently given the "all clear" from swine flu himself.
In a post on his Twitter.com page, he told fans: "It is with sincere regret that we've had to cancel this weekend's shows. I want to cry. Just as I get the all clear, my bass player Wayney is diagnosed with swine flu."
