Spiteri pulls out of Radio 2 concert
Sharleen Spiteri has pulled out of a Radio 2 concert.

The singer was lined up to appear at the 'Thank You For The Music' ABBA tribute gig in Hyde Park, but cancelled after her Texas bandmate Alistair McErlaine suffered a brain haemorrhage.

A Radio 2 spokesperson said: "We are thinking of Sharleen and the band at this difficult time."

Nerina Pallot has agreed to step in and will perform 'SOS', which Spiteri had planned to sing.

35,000 fans are expected at the concert, which will see performances from acts including Kylie Minogue, The Feeling and Lulu.
