Had to cancel last minute as member of band took seriously ill backstage. Folk whinging about not getting to see the band. Not much else as yet, but sounds like sudden massive heart attack, so in deadpool terms, the person will be dead by breakfast or survive it imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,141 Posted August 4, 2017 http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/whats-on/music/midge-in-a-league-of-his-own-as-festival-party-takes-a-sombre-turn-1-8687845 After a fun-filled pop party, there was a sombre end to last night’s 80s Vs 90s show. As fans had been built up ready for headliners The Human League, Granada Reports’ Caroline Whitmore came to the Lytham Green stage to make the sad announcement that a member of the Don’t You Want Me hitmakers had been taken ‘seriously ill’ backstage during the previous set. A statement from festival organisers Cuffe and Taylor said: “Unfortunately, a member of The Human League was taken seriously ill while on site at Lytham Festival resulting in the band being unable to perform. “They are now under the care of a doctor and we wish them a speedy recovery."

Sean 6,329 Posted August 5, 2017 We know one of the band was taken ill and Oakey's name has been unofficially mentioned but it could be a case of Chinese whispers amongst the crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A whole career on the back of a ridiculous fucking haircut and a song that Shaz and Trace dance round their handbags to at every fucking 80s night going. Every other song they've done has been dull as absolute FUCK and to top it off they're all fucking NORTHERNERS. And those two dull fucking bints in the background, WHY? AAAARGHGHGH I FUCKING HATE THEM I need a lie down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
