The veteran singer was due to perform at London's O2 Arena tonight (June 6) but it has been postponed because he is suffering from a bronchial virus.

The show has been moved to July 11 at the same venue, with original tickets valid.

His next date at the Manchester Arena on Saturday (June 8) is still scheduled to go ahead as planned.

Speaking about the postponement on Twitter, Stewart said diplomatically:

"Hate letting down all going to the O2 tomorrow, but happily been able to reschedule for July 11th. Wish me well as I do you."

The singer's latest album 'Time' meanwhile hit No.1 in the UK charts after it was released on May 13.

And they have compared their fans' reaction in the States to the overwhelming fanaticism Justin Bieber receives.

As previously reported, the British girl group's maiden record 'DNA' landed at an impressive No.4 on the charts this week.

Speaking to Billboard, Jesy Nelson admitted that she is surprised at the amount of fans they have over the pond. She said:

"Just seeing the amount of fans that we actually have [in the US] is so overwhelming. When we go to our signings, it's crazy - we feel like Justin Bieber when we go."

She added: "It's crazy, and we've never felt like that before, and it's just amazing."

Little Mix's chart success means that they are the highest ever charting British female group in the US with a debut album.

The previous record was held by the Spice Girls, who saw their first album 'Spice' enter the US chart at No.6 in 1997.

The singer grabbed headlines at the May event in Las Vegas after mistiming a leap over the crowd and partly landing on a female fan.

The incident gained attention recently after it was revealed that the victim, Khyati Shah, may pursue legal action after signs of neurological damage surfaced.

A source told a website that Miguel had previously been ordered not to jump over the crowd - something which a rep for the singer denied. They said:

"The reports claiming that Miguel was warned by producers not to jump are completely false."

They added: "A number of attempts were made to reach Khyati and her lawyer after the performance to see how she was doing and whether any assistance could be offered. Khyati's well-being has been and continues to be of the utmost concern to Miguel."

The comedian and actor was married to the 'Part Of Me' star from 2010 to 2012, when their divorce was finalised.

Speaking in a new interview with Esquire, Brand said that he was happy to have tried the monogamous lifestyle and complimented Perry's character.

However, he added that parties had to have "really wanted it" in order for the marriage to be a success. Brand said:

"When I'm in a relationship I'm diligently monogamous and stick to the principles agreed on within that relationship. You've got to, I think."

He added: "But it's going to be hard if I go into a monogamous relationship. I live a life where I have a lot of freedom, so if I meet someone and I go, 'Right let's be monogamous', that's a f**king change. But I tried it and I loved it. I really think [Katy's] a lovely, beautiful person. It's just hard, isn't it? She's got a lot of options, I've got a lot of options, so you've got to really, really want it."

Talking about his famed sex drive, Brand commented:

"I've given over too much of my life to its pursuit. And I've probably harmed other people, by being selfish. And really, I'd like to be married. I'm just not transmitting that frequency of 'Soulmate! Soulmate!' I'm transmitting the frequency of 'Mmm!'. This is the realisation of a childhood dream - my hero, the great artist Morrissey, affirming and praising my work. But while he's talking, a girl with big tits walks past in the background, and I immediately look at her. It's not even a decision - it's more like 'breathe', or 'kidneys separate urine from water'. It's happening on such a deep level, that stuff."

The ceremony, which was held on Wednesday night (June 5) at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, paid tribute to country music videos and performances.

Miranda Lambert won the Female Video of the Year gong for her clip 'Mama's Broken Heart', as well as the CMT Performance of the Year award for her rendition of 'Over You' at the 2012 CMT Artists of the Year event.

Carrie Underwood meanwhile bagged the Video of the Year award for her track 'Blown Away'.

Other winners on the night included Jason Aldean (Collaborative Video of the Year), Lady Antebellum (Group Video of the Year) and Blake Shelton (Male Video of the Year).

Taylor Swift, who was nominated for the Female Video of the Year category for her clip 'Begin Again', performed her song 'Red' on the night.

Newly released figures show that British artists have enjoyed their highest ever share of global album sales, accounting for 13.3% of worldwide transactions in 2012.

This figure has been boosted by the likes of pop group One Direction, '21' star Adele and Mumford & Sons.

Speaking about British acts' success, David Cameron said:

"We should be extremely proud of how our world-leading music industry continues to go from strength to strength, with a record share of the global market and with British acts having the world’s top selling album for five of the last six years."

He added: “British music is enjoyed across the world and we will keep backing our creative industries that support jobs, create opportunities and contribute to the economy.”

BPI Chief Executive, Geoff Taylor meanwhile said: “As music goes digital, Britain has the potential to be even more successful, connecting instantly with fans who love our music wherever they may live.  The time is right for Government to back innovative businesses like music that can lead the economy back to growth."

One Direction's two albums - 'Up All Night' and 'Take Me Home' - were among the five top selling albums in the world last year.

The songstress enjoyed huge success with her debut album 'Ora' which spawned three No. 1 singles including 'Hot Right Now', 'How We Do (Party)' and 'R.I.P.'

Ora is currently working on the follow up album and explained to glamourmagazine.co.uk: "The new album is definitely pop, I love my pop music. But it's kind of got that soul that I loved growing up, so you're going to hear a lot more soul in there."

Ora scooped the Best Solo Artist prize at last night's (June 4) Glamour Women Of The Year awards in London.

Cara Delevingne presented her friend with the accolade, gushing: "I genuinely don't know anyone who deserves this more, she's my best friend."

On accepting the award, Ora said: "Thank you for that amazing speech... I don't have anything really prepared other than thank you to Jo and thank you to GLAMOUR... Thanks to my mother, my sister, Roc Nation, GLAMOUR, thank you, let's just do it again."

The band's sixth studio album 'Like Clockwork' is outselling Disclosure’s debut album 'Settle' by only a few thousand copies.

The Official Chart Update claims that everything is still to play for in the album race as the gap is "is steadily narrowing".

Daft Punk look set to lose their two-week hold on No. 1 in the albums race as 'Random Access Memories' has slipped two places to No. 3.

Rod Stewart's 'Time' has also fallen two places to No. 4 while  Rudimental's 'Home' has dropped two places to No. 7 after 6 weeks in the charts.

Olly Murs' 'Right Place Right Time' is at No. 9 after climbing four places, while Bruno Mars' 'Unorthodox Jukebox' is down six places to No. 13 after an impressive 26 weeks in the charts.

The catchy tune featuring Pharrell Williams and TI has secured the No. 1 spot in the midweek chart update today (June 5).

According to today’s Official Chart Update, 'Blurred Lines' is outselling its closest competitor Naughty Boy Featuring Sam Smith’s 'La La La', by nearly two to one.

After reaching the top spot last weekend, Thicke told OfficialCharts.com: “It is an honour and a pleasure to be Number 1 in the UK. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of, and I am so grateful to all the people who made this dream come true. Thank you!”

Former X Factor finalists Union J's new track 'Carry You' has entered the mid-week chart at No. 3 while chart topping track 'Get Lucky' from Daft Punk featuring Pharrell Williams has slipped one place to No. 4.

Passenger's 'Let Her Go' is down two places to No. 6 while Jessie J's newest single 'Wild' featuring Dizzee Rascal and Big Sean has also slipped three places to No. 8.

Demi Lovato's 'Heart Attack' is down one place to No. 11 while Calvin Harris' 'I Need Your Love' featuring British songstress Ellie Goulding has dropped two places to No. 18 after 15 weeks in the chart.

The X Factor UK 2011 winners released their debut effort 'DNA' in the States on May 28 and it instantly shot up the iTunes download chart.

Newly released figures show that the female quartet have landed at No.4 on the albums chart after a week of being on sale.

The impressive feat sees the 'Wings' stars sit behind Daft Punk, Alice in Chains and John Fogerty on the list.

Little Mix are the latest British act to find success in the US, with One Direction, Cher Lloyd and Ed Sheeran all enjoying fame across the pond.

One Direction in particular has trumped the States, with their first two albums hitting No.1 and the band gaining a fanatic audience.

As previously reported, the former X Factor judge and her friend GLC were embroiled in an undercover story led by The Sun which saw them apparently involved in a setting up a drug deal.

Tulisa allegedly fixed the deal with their reporter, who seemingly later bought cocaine from Mike GLC.

Both were arrested on Tuesday (June 4) on suspicion of supplying class A drugs. Speaking outside Belgravia police station in London following "hours" of questioning, GLC said:

"[Tulisa] has not done anything, I can’t think why there should not be a reason for her to come back. I’ve been released on bail. I can’t speak for Tulisa and I don’t know what her position is. It’s two separate things, I don’t know. In the end it will all come out. That’s all I can say."

The rapper, who said that the story was sneakily edited, added: "I’m not a drug dealer and I’ve never dealt drugs and I don’t have a record."

A statement on the band’s website reads: “The Package tour was unfortunately delayed at the Canadian border earlier today and as a result has impacted the time required for the shows production and crew to prepare for tonight's concert in Ottawa.

“As a result, The Package Tour featuring New Kids On The Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men have rescheduled their Ottawa performance tonight to Wednesday, June 5 at Scotiabank Place. All tickets purchased for the original performance this evening will be honoured tomorrow.”

A rep for the band confirmed to Tmz.com that several gear trucks and key crew members were halted at the border for such a long time that the concert had to be scrapped. The band members however, arrived safely and on time.

The album will be called ‘The Last Ship’ and has grown out of a musical Sting has been working on with the same name. The show is hoping to make it to Broadway next year.

Though he has released work since 2003 – including 2010’s ‘Symphonicities’ an orchestral collection of his previous compositions – this will be the first album of originals by the Police star in ten years.

Several tracks on the album are expected to be heard in the musical and Sting has been working with the likes of ‘Skyfall’ co-writer John Logan and playwright Brian Yorkey on the show.

The musical is based around a shipyard during the decline of the shipbuilding industry in late 1980’s England.

Check out the video for Sting’s 2003 single ‘Whenever I Say Your Name’ featuring Mary J. Blige below:

The injury occurred when Miguel was performing at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards and attempted to jump across part of the crowd, falling slightly short and crashing into a few fans including Khyati Shah, whose head was caught by Miguel’s leg and forced into the stage behind her. However, she was later seen in good spirits alongside Miguel who had visited to check on her condition and apologize.

But Shah has apparently been feeling effects from the injury, says her lawyer Vip Bhola who told Tmz.com: "Some of the difficulties she's experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury." 

The woman is undergoing tests from a neurologist to confirm any damage and may possibly pursue a lawsuit.

Miguel recently opened up about the incident, saying: "The truth is that in rehearsal I had made that jump a couple of times. It wasn't that I under-jumped, it was that the crowd...You know what, I don't even have an explanation man. Everybody out there, that s*** was funny. I'm laughing at it now."

He added: "That night and the day after I was definitely worried about the girl – more than anything worried about the girl. What a lot of people didn't see was once the camera cuts off, I like ran to the girl took her to infirmary, sat with her and made sure she was OK. I don't really know what to say besides I'm sorry.”

Watch Miguel interviewed with the victim after the show below:

The veteran rockers have been inviting guest singers on stage with them during their 50 And Counting tour.

As previously reported, Taylor Swift teamed up with the group on Monday night (June 3), following in the footsteps of the likes of Lady Gaga and Dave Grohl.

It had been mooted that Adele might hit the stage with the Stones when they play the London venue on July 6 and 13.

However, when asked if those plans were correct, a rep for the 'Brown Sugar' group told the Guardian: "No".

Adele's publicist meanwhile was similarly tight-lipped, adding: "I have no comment on their story."
