Scottish dance star Mylo has been forced to cancel his appearance at Big Day Out after losing his hearing in one ear.
Elton John’s favourite act contracted a virus over the festive period which worsened and led to the complete loss of hearing in one ear and partial loss in the other.
After taking some days off in which he hoped to regain his hearing he travelled to Cape Town South Africa, but after being inspected by doctors it was clear that his hearing had not improved.
A statement from Mylo's management, said: “He is grounded in Cape Town and unable to move at the moment.
“As you can probably imagine it is impossible for him to perform right now and therefore we regretfully have to cancel the Big Day Out shows.”
