Hole in roof forces Example to cancel gig in Swindon

Example played on Radio 1's student tour at the University of Hertfordshire

Example has cancelled a gig in Swindon after he said a hole formed in the roof at the venue.

The rapper and singer was due to perform at the Oasis Leisure Centre.

He apologised to those fans waiting to enter the venue but said there was "nothing" he could do and told fans to expect news on the gig potentially being rescheduled.

"The venue won't let us play as there is a hole in the roof and it's stormy," he wrote on Twitter.

"Soon as I have news on the rescheduling will let you know. Huge apologies to everyone waiting in the rain. Nothing I can do.

"Hate cancelling. Especially when it's out of my hands.

"HUGE STORM + HOLE IN ROOF + ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT = POTENTIAL FOR FINAL DESTINATION TYPE GIG."

Example's tour is due to continue in Cambridge on Tuesday night (13 December) before ending in Brighton and Nottingham.
