Little Mix Tweet
The band Little Mix have been forced to cancel their Belfast gigs after singer Jesy Nelson became unwell today – leaving Donegal fans upset.
The girl band was due to play a matinee and evening show at the Odyssey Arena today
The cancellation was announced just minutes after the doors opened for the afternoon performance.
Fans were left in tears outside.
“We came down to Belfast and booked into the Ramada to make a day of it,” said Geraldine McLaughlin who was with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Stacey.
“It’s not been handled very well,” she said. “There’s absolute bedlam down here now.
“Surely they could have informed us before we all landed at the place? This was minutes before the show was due to begin.”
Hundreds of Donegal fans of the band have travelled to Belfast today, many booking hotel rooms overnight.
A statement from gig promoter Aikens said: “We regret to announce that both Little Mix shows at the SSE Arena will not take place today due to Jesy being unwell and not able to perform.
“Please hold on to your tickets – we hope to be able to make a further announcement on possible rescheduling later today.”
The band is hoping to play the gigs next week – when most fans will be back at school.
