Written by Elliott Batte
Manchester rockers Beady Eye have pulled out of V Festival due to guitarist Gem Archer's recent injury and hospitalisation.
Liam Gallagher's band announced that they were pulling out of two festivals - Lokerse Festival in Belgium and Tokyo’s Summer Sonic - earlier this month, after guitarist Archer suffered 'severe heard trauma'. Now, their V performance - where they were to headline 4Music Stage - has also been canned to allow him to recover following his release from hospital.
Breaking the news via a post on their website, the band said:
"Beady Eye regret to announce that they are cancelling their performance at V Festival and their remaining scheduled shows and promotional commitments in August due to guitarist Gem Archer suffering severe head trauma after an accident on August 1st.
"The band apologise to fans but under the circumstances feel they can not perform without Gem and want to focus on supporting him throughout his recovery. Gem was released from hospital yesterday evening and is recovering at home though remains under observation."
Fans have been leaving messages of support on the band's website, with one writing 'fully understandable guys get well soon Gem wish you well luv', and another saying 'at least [it's] good news, he's at home recovering. Get well soon Gem!'
