Iconic 80s band Tears for Fears have cancelled an upcoming concert in Cardiff. They were meant to perform at Cardiff Castle next Saturday.
The decision has been taken after member Curt Smith injured his ribs, with the band - made up of Smith and Roland Orzabal - still due to appear in New Milton, Canterbury, Hove, Hatfield, Exeter and London as well as Cardiff. To get the latest What's On newsletters from WalesOnline, click here.
