"We are unable to deliver the concert safely," he said, adding all ticket holders would get a refund.

Jodrell Bank, home to the Lovell telescope, has seen crowds of up to 20,000 watch concerts by The Flaming Lips, British Sea Power, OKGO and Alice Gold.
The bill for Weller's show also featured Gomez, Graham Coxon and The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club.
