A two-week-long music festival in central London has cancelled its final night after Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra pulled out of the headline slot on Sunday.
Lynne, 77, who was billed to play alongside his band Sunday at the The BST Hyde Park festival, withdrew on Saturday on the advice of doctors as a result of what was termed a 'systemic infection."
In a statement, the festival organizers said the event will 'sadly be cancelled" and that ticket holders will be refunded and contacted directly by their ticket agent with further details.
Stevie Wonder will be taking to the London stage on Saturday evening in what will now be the festival's final event of 2025. This year's festival, which started on June 27, hosted the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Van Morrison and Neil Young.
U.S. rock band The Doobie Brothers and Steve Winwood were among those slated to perform on Sunday ahead of ELO's headline performance.
