The Libertines postpone London gig after fans wait for two hours

The Libertines postponed a London gig last night (September 10) two hours after their set was due to begin.

The band were set to perform at the city's Electric Ballroom at around 9.15pm.

However, two hours later a rep came on stage to tell fans that the band would not be playing the concert due to health reasons.

They said: "Due to an emergency – a medical situation – tonight’s show is being postponed.

"I say postponed because I mean postponed, not cancelled. A new date will be released tomorrow."

The band's team added on Facebook: "Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight the Libertines have had to postpone their sold out shows at the Electric Ballroom in Camden and at the Ritz in Manchester tomorrow night.

"Peter, Carl, John and Gary apologise whole heartedly to their fans and will reschedule both shows as soon as possible. This will not effect any of The Libertines other commitments."

The Libertines meanwhile released new album 'Anthems For Doomed Youth' today (September 11).
