George Ezra Leeds concert in doubt as 'worried' fans demand to know what's happening

Fans are voicing their upset as they say they have still had no announcement on whether George Ezra's Leeds gig will go ahead tonight.

The 'Shotgun' singer had to pull out of his gig in London on Tuesday, March 14, due to feeling "incredibly unwell" and was diagnosed with acute vertigo. The next stop on his Gold Rush Kid tour is supposed to be Leeds's First Direct Arena tonight (Thursday, March 16).

As of yet, there hasn't been announcement as to whether George will be well enough to go ahead with the gig. It's left some fans asking if they to cancel their plans or not on social media.

@paulsouthern19 tweeted: "Anyone else going to see George Ezra in leeds tonight a little bit worried that they’ve not said if it’s still going ahead @george_ezra"

Paul Claughan said: "Can we expect an announcement soon on the Leeds gig for tonight? Save a lot of people a lot of money etc if it is. After the Consequences of the London late cancellation surely it is not unreasonable if George is not fit to play just say so!"

"Can someone from @george_ezra management please release a statement as regards to the situation with the Leeds concert tonight. I have my daughter and her husband, with three grandchildren waiting to plan their day around seeing the concert tonight," Adrian King tweeted.

Similarly, David Kobayashi said: "Well the Leeds gig is today he should know when he wakes up if it's on or not & advise everyone. Not good enough to wait a second time an hour before.. vertigo won't disappear an hour before he's due on stage."

"Any news on Leeds yet? It’s coming up to time for hotel cancellation or else we lose £250 Thanks," said Vincent Connolly.

The statement posted on George's Twitter on Tuesday said: "Hi everyone, unfortunately George has started feeling incredibly unwell this afternoon. He’s been diagnosed by a doctor as having acute vertigo and as a result we sincerely regret to announce that tonight’s show at the O2 in London will not be able to go ahead as planned.

"We wanted to let you know as soon as possible. Ticket holders, all tickets remain valid and please bear with us as we reschedule the show - we’re very sorry for everyone who has travelled for tonight."
