British rock icons, Magnum, have been forced to cancel two upcoming UK shows due to COVID and have issued the following statement:

"We’re absolutely gutted to have to make the following announcement: The band are going to have to postpone our Southampton and Cardiff shows. Unfortunately (and perhaps somewhat inevitably) one of the band has tested positive for COVID. We wish him a speedy recovery and as we have some time before our German dates none of the other shows will be affected. We’re so very sorry to those who have waited so long that you will have to wait even longer! We will get to you when we can - as soon as we have new dates we will let you know. Thank you everyone for your continued support and understanding.”
