Paul Heaton has announced today that his performing partner Jacqui Abbott will not be playing with him at their planned show in Manchester this weekend.
The former Housemartins and Beautiful South star issued a statement via Facebook and Twitter explaining Abbott has been advised to completely rest from singing. She will not be playing with the Paul and the band while her voice fully recovers.
It means the singer will miss out of their gigs scheduled for Sheffield tonight at the Utilita Arena and Manchester Arena tomorrow (December 10). She will also not be appearing at the scheduled London date on December 17.
