Coronavirus outbreak forces Curtis and AJ Pritchard to cancel their tour

Curtis and AJ Pritchard have announced they have cancelled their tour due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The brothers had been due to perform four more gigs on their AJ Live tour, which have now been postponed until further notice.

Fans due to attend the Guildford, Cardiff, Bournemouth and Torquay shows have been told that the dates will be rescheduled when possible.

It comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson advised the public to stay away from mass gatherings like concerts.

The UK coronavirus death toll yesterday rose to 55 while there have now been 1,543 cases, with more than 7,000 now dead globally.
