In a statement on the band’s Twitter page said: “We are extremely sorry to announce the cancellation of the Artic Monkeys show at Marlay Park in Dublin tomorrow”.

They continued why it was cancelled: “Alex is suffering from acute laryngitis and following medical advice, has been ordered to rest.”

The Rock Band said there would be full refunds within six working days.

Arctic Monkeys are currently on tour in Europe, North America, and Mexico and they are set to headline the Pyramid Stage in Glastonbury on Friday which I am sure the lead singer Alex is in a rush to be fit to play in.
