Example has issued an apology to fans after pulling out of a gig on Saturday night just hours after performing at Glastonbury.
The singer and songwriter, 43, performed on the Shangri-La stage at the iconic music festival on Friday night.

Example, whose real name is Elliot John Gleave, was due to perform at Granite City Festival in Aberdeen.
In a statement to his fans, the musician said: ‘During my set at Glastonbury, we experienced some unexpected sound issues that forced me to push my voice much harder than usual.
‘I could feel it starting to go, so we made the difficult decision to cut the set short by 20 minutes to protect it ahead of today’s performance at Granite City Festival Aberdeen.
