Bombings Force Rem To Postpone Their Return To Live 8 Site

LATEST: Rockers REM have rescheduled their Hyde Park show in London at the weekend (09JUL05) to allow police to revamp security in the wake of bomb attacks on the British capital.

The group will now take to the stage at the site of London's Live 8 concert on Saturday (02JUL05) eight days later on 16 July (05).

Supergroup Queen have already rescheduled their planned gig in Hyde Park today (08JUL05) as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks, which rocked London yesterday (07JUL05).

The WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS rockers will now perform in the park next Saturday (15JUL05).

Meanwhile, SUM 41, Nate James, El Presidente all scrapped shows in London last night, and Queens Of The Stone Age's two shows in the capital are to be rescheduled at a later date.
