The musician in question has been diagnosed with glandular fever and is not expected to be able to return to work for at least a fortnight.

Message from Beverley

"Hi Guys!
Just wanted to write to u to say sorry that we had to move our dates ? believe me I?m as disappointed as u are that we can?t get out there and do these shows right now! But one of the guys came back from another tour with glandular fever and not only did we have to cancel rehearsals but his doctor?s told him he would flattened out for at least two weeks! We want to give u guys the best show ever and to lose a key band member at that late stage meant there was no way we could find a replacement - for our joint MD, rehearse a 2 hour show and be up to speed in less than a week! Hopefully he?ll be well enough to do a few short sets with Bryan Adams in Europe in a few weeks? time. The earliest we could reschedule the UK tour was April 05?but ?Soon come and u know we?re gonna smash it - I just hope all or most of you can still come and check us out then.

Meanwhile I?m keeping busy. I was going to do my bit and then dash up to the Wolverhampton show from the Live Aid recording on Sunday but I hung out there for a bit instead - it was very special and inspiring ? looking forward to seeing what it sounds like! I?ll also be doing a few more bits and pieces with Roni Size for our song No More which is out in early January and of course getting ready for next year?s release of Keep This Fire Burning. A certain artist has added her brand nu flava to the remix already (tell u later!) and I?ll be shooting the video before Xmas.

I hope u guys understand about the dates ? its one of those things but u know we?ll be heating things up in the Spring with our best UK tour ever - so hang tight and thanks for your support as always! Big Love

Bev xxx"
