Dirty Pretty Things frontman Carl Barat has been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis by doctors at a hospital in London.

The singer was admitted to the unnamed hospital yesterday (June 17th) suffering with stomach pains.

According to a statement from the band, Barat is being kept under observation over the weekend and faces the possibility of an operation.

Gigwise was meant to met Barat yesterday (June 18th) for a scheduled interview shortly before we were informed of his illness.

Dirty Pretty Things scheduled appearance at Hackney Round Chapel on Friday (June 20th) has now been cancelled.

A statement on their immediate future is expected shortly.
