BJORK - BJORK CANCELS FINLAND SHOW DUE TO THROAT PROBLEM

BJORK CANCELS FINLAND SHOW DUE TO THROAT PROBLEM

Pop star BJORK has been forced to pull out of another date in her current world tour - citing health problems for the cancellation.
The Icelandic singer has scrapped her concert at Finlandia Puisto in Helsinki, Finland on Thursday (10Jul08) due to a throat illness.
A post on her website reads, "Sadly, due to medical issues with her voice, Bjork has to cancel the show in Helsinki. Ticket holders should return tickets to point of purchase to get a ticket refund... Bjork thanks her fans for their understanding and support."
It is the third show the star has cancelled in the recent weeks. She pulled a gig in Sheffield, England earlier this month (Jul08) as a result of her ailment, while the U.K.'s Wild In The Country Festival, which was due to commence on 5 July (08), was shelved altogether after Bjork scrapped her appearance and accused event organisers of failing to meet basic performance requirements.
Her world tour is due to continue in Lithuania's Vingio Park on 13 July (08).
