The Oscar-winning actor Sir Mark Rylance has pulled out of three performances of the West End show Jerusalem after his younger brother was killed in a bicycle crash in California.

Jonathan Waters, a 60-year-old sommelier, was cycling in Oakland when he was hit by a vehicle last month. He suffered head injuries and died a day after the collision.
