Horslips have cancelled their much anticipated performance at Live at the Marquee. The iconic trad-rockers were set to play the Cork festival on June 26th, but have been forced to pull out after flautist and keyboard player Jim Lockhart was struck down by sudden illness.
According to a press release, Lockhart is expected to make a full recovery, but doctors have told him he will not be well enough to perform until Autumn.
Bassist Barry Devlin said, "We're aware of the inconvenience caused and obviously tickets will be refunded and though we’re personally gutted at what has happened we're delighted that Jim is on his way to a full recovery."
Refunds are available from point of purchase.
