Power failure cancels Streets gig

The Streets was forced to cancel a gig last night after a last minute power failure at the venue.

The cancellation of the show at London's O2 Brixton Academy left rapper Mike Skinner "heartbroken".

"Tonight's Brixton show has been cancelled due to a power cut. Gutted. Not sure what to say really. I was really excited, turned up and no lights in the whole building," he wrote on his MySpace blog.

"[The venue staff] phoned the power company, who weren't very helpful unfortunately. I'll keep you all posted but the sight of you all outside queuing is heartbreaking."

Organisers are planning to reschedule the concert and urge everyone to keep hold of their tickets.
