Libertines cancel Radio 1 Live Lounge slot after postponing two gigs

The Libertines have pulled out of their Radio 1 Live Lounge slot on Monday.

It's after the band postponed two gigs in London and Manchester at the last minute due to an "emergency medical situation".

Radio 1 said in a statement: "Unfortunately the Libertines have had to cancel their appearance."

Thursday night's London show at the Electric Ballroom, in Camden, was called off two hours after the band were due on stage.

It's not yet clear which band member was affected.

The Libertines tweeted to reassure fans Pete Doherty was safe and OK, but that it was a "private matter".

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter is from Newbury in Berkshire.
