Dionne Warwick fans in Newcastle were left mightily disappointed on Tuesday night when the music legend cancelled her show in the city with 'minutes to go.'
The world renowned singer, who's give us classics like Heartbreaker, Walk on By and That's What Are Friends are For over her long and illustrious career, was all set to take the stage at the O2 City Hall Newcastle for the She’s Back: For One Last Tim concert, which is one of the dates of her Farewell tour. The evening was set to see Dionne perform all the memorable songs from her enviable back catalogue as long as recent material from album She's Back.
The gig, set to start around 8pm, had already been rescheduled from October 2021 and, just as they were getting ready to see Dionne take the stage, fans were informed that the show had been called off, with Dionne blaming illness as she took to Twitter with an announcement for fans. The 81-year-old wrote: "I am so sorry that I won’t be able to perform for you tonight. I love being in Newcastle which makes it even more upsetting! But unfortunately, I’ve picked up a nasty bug that just won’t allow me to perform. Take care and I will see you very soon."
