Snow Patrol have had cancel two gigs they were scheduled to play in America as they were unable to fly out there.

The hit band were lined up to perform in Seattle and Portland this week, but the recent terrorist alert and resulting chaos at UK airports meant that only two out of the five band members could get on flights in time.

Lead singer Gary Lightbody stated on the band's official website: "We really did try to get to Seattle and then on to Portland! It became a personal quest of mine this morning, but Heathrow was against me (us) and we are now grounded in London with no luggage or backline. Believe me when I say that we are doing everything in our power to get to Boston for Tuesday's gig."
