Stars Pull Out of Capital Gig

GRAMMY-AWARD winning band Gnarls Barkley have pulled out of a planned performance in Edinburgh later this year.

Barkley were scheduled to perform alongside the Sugababes and the Feeling at the Vodafone TBA “mini festival” in Princes Street Gardens but have now said they will be unable to attend.

Their place will be taken by the Hoosiers.

The Sugababes, who have sold more than five million albums and notched up thirteen top ten singles, and The Feeling, whose album Twelve Stops and Home has sold more than a million copies, will be headlining the June 1 event.

The concert is free to Vodafone customers, who are awarded tickets through a text ballot.
