MUSIC legends UB40 have postponed their show in Southampton tonight.

The group were due to play the Southampton Guildhall but have confirmed on Facebook they will no longer be performing the show.

The band said they hoped to find a new date in January for another show.

In a statement, the group said: "It is with deep regret that tonight's sold out concert of UB40 at the Southampton Guildhall is postponed.

"This is due to exhaustion and loss of voice by the group's lead singer Duncan Campbell.

"Sadly, Southampton is the last date of the UK tour, so, following doctor's advice, it is with a heavy heart that the decision to postpone is unavoidable.

"We are working on a new date for January which we will inform you of as soon as possible."
