Lead singer of indie rock band James has apologised to fans after the group were forced to pull out of a show at the last minute. The Manchester band were expected to perform at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival in Scotland today (August 1).
However, hours before their showing, singer Tim Booth took to Instagram announce the sad news. In a video on the social media platform, Booth shared his 'deep regret' and apologised to those making their way to the festival.
Tim said: "It's with deep regret that I have to tell you that we have to cancel this gig tonight at Belladrum.

"I've been fighting off a viral infection for a few days and I've finally lost my voice. This deep sexy rasp is not my usual voice, so we hardly ever cancel but we have no choice this time.
"We're here, the band's here, the crew's here and I know many of you have come in from miles around to see this concert and it's awful and I hate letting you down... I'm so sorry and I hope we'll be back..."
Thankfully the show will go on, with the band revealing Razorlight have stepped in to close the festival, the Mirror reports. The post was captioned: "Truly sorry to inform you that James won't be playing tonight at Belladrum, on medical advice.
"Sorry to those of you who were really looking forward to seeing us, especially those who have travelled far and wide to come to this great event. We hate to let you down. Hopefully We can arrange to come back within the next year or so to make it up to you."
The announcement was met with concern in the comments section, but many offered well wishes. One user wrote: "We wish you a speedy recovery," while another added: "Your health has to come first. The fans will wait get well soon Tim xx"
Tim recently opened up to the Mirror about his love of touring and performing. He said: "Our live reputation is snowballing.
"Yeah, and you know we're a nine-piece band, and that's a live event rather than when you see these rappers where they're just playing to backing tracks or musicians playing to backing tracks.
"We believe that watching a really well constructed song with cello, violin, guitar, trumpets, two drummers, keyboards is is entertainment in itself, and our connection to an audience is is in the moment, is in the live moment. It's always been our strongest suit, and always for us, the mark of authenticity."
Speaking of his connection to his audience, he added: "I love contact. I love eye contact. It's something that really feeds me, and feeds us as a band.
"The whole point of a live gig is you get this feedback loop going. That we put out this song, they give us back this response.
"We therefore have that energy, and then we put that back out, and then it keeps on building like some kind of battery of optimism, of positivism, of ecstasy, and that's what we're looking for. "
