Rock group Arctic Monkeys have been forced to cancel their concert at Marlay Park in Dublin tomorrow due to illness.
Lead singer Alex Turner has been diagnosed with acute laryngitis and is under doctor's orders to rest his voice, meaning he will not be well enough to perform at Marlay Park on Tuesday evening.
The Sheffield band apologised for disappointing their Irish fans with the cancellation of their gig, which would have been their first on Irish soil since the release of their seventh studio album, The Car.

The concert would have been the first in a series of summer shows at Marlay Park, which will see the likes of Dermot Kennedy, The Weeknd and Def Leppard perform at the iconic Dublin venue, as well as the always-popular Longitude Festival.
Those who have purchased tickets for the cancelled Arctic Monkeys show have been assured that full refunds will be issued over the next week.
"We are extremely sorry to announce the cancellation of Arctic Monkeys' show at Marlay Park in Dublin tomorrow," a statement on the band's official social media reads.
"Alex is suffering from acute laryngitis and following medical advice, has been ordered to rest.
"Alex and the band apologise for the huge disappointment this will inevitably cause to all their Irish fans.
"Full refunds will be credited back to the ticket purchaser's account by Ticketmaster within the next six working days."
Following the now-cancelled gig at Marlay Park, Arctic Monkeys are due to perform at Glastonbury this weekend, when they will close out the Pyramid Stage on Friday night. Glasto attendees will be eagerly awaiting an update on Alex's voice before then.
