Years and Years cancel TRNSMT set after Olly Alexander falls ill

Years & Years has pulled out of its TRNSMT set today after singer Olly Alexander fell ill.

The pop act was due to perform on the main stage in Glasgow Green at 3.25pm this afternoon but was forced to cancel at the last minute.

Olly sent an apology to fans but explained he is currently suffering with an infection and has been advised by his doctor that he is not well enough to take to the stage.

A statement issued by Years & Years last night read: "I'm so sorry for this but I won't be performing tomorrow at TRNSMT, I have an infection and my doctor has told me I'm not well enough to do the show.

"I'm really sorry to anybody hoping to see us, I hate to do this and I'm absolutely gutted not to be there. I hope everybody has a great time at the festival and hopefully we can come back another time."

TRNSMT organisers sent well wishes to the frontman and confirmed that updates to the schedule would be published shortly.

Confirming the news on Twitter, the festival said: "Unfortunately, @yearsandyears will not be performing at the festival tomorrow. We’re wishing Olly well and will update on schedule changes to the Saturday lineup soon."
