Interpol were forced to cancel a U.K. gig after a bandmember was struck down by a mystery illness.
The US group were due to play at the Newcastle Academy venue on Tuesday 21st August, but pulled out at the last minute.

The band have so far failed to reveal the nature of the illness or which member it affects, but fans on the group’s messageboards suggest it was bassist Carlos Dengler.

Interpol were also scheduled to appear at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange venue yesterday, as well as this weekend’s Leeds and Reading Festivals.
