Scott Mills Axed from Major Summer Concert Line-Up

Scott Mills has been removed from the line-up of a major summer concert - one of his last remaining scheduled appearances - in the latest blow since his sacking from the .

The former Radio 2 Breakfast Show DJ has been dropped from his planned set at Ibiza Symphonica following a historical allegation of serious sexual offences.

Last month, it was announced that Mills, 53, who was sacked by the broadcaster following a probe into his personal conduct, was due to perform a DJ set at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate on August 15. 

However, following his shock sacking from the BBC, which came seven years after he was investigated by police over alleged sex offences with a boy aged under 16 with the case later closed, event organisers have made the decision to remove him from the official line-up, and discussions have begun to find a replacement.

They have also hit out at Mills' management team for their 'lack of communication' since his BBC scandal came to light.

Their official statement says: 'We have carefully considered the serious nature of matters in the public domain concerning Scott Mills and have decided to move forward without Scott as part of our line-up.'

Event organisers exclusively told the Daily Mail: 'Ibiza Symphonica is a celebration, which directly supports the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, a charity with an important role in supporting farming and rural Yorkshire.

'We have a duty to respect the event, the venue, the charity, and the other acts and partners involved, all of whom have managed to engage with us openly and professionally throughout. Most importantly, we have to make sure we deliver the best possible experience for our customers.

'We have tried at length to approach the decision with care, fairness, and sensitivity to everyone concerned.

'Taking everything into account, including the serious allegations in the public domain, the wider sentiment, the broader context in which other organisations were also having to consider their own positions, and the fact that we received no communication or response from management, to the point that we were left without confidence as to whether the booking was even still proceeding, we reached the stage where leaving matters unresolved was becoming more damaging than addressing them.

'We have begun discussions around a replacement, and we also already have a further act still to announce as planned. We have some incredible talent involved in the event, including some true national treasures, and we cannot wait to move forward and deliver a fantastic event for Yorkshire on August 15th.'

The event brings together world-class vocalists and a full live orchestra for an evening celebrating the most loved Ibiza anthems of the last three decades. 

Scott was due to perform alongside Heather Small of M People, Rebecca Ferguson MBE, and Alison Limerick.

It will be the first outdoor music concert held at the Great Yorkshire Showground since Sir Elton John played in 2012.

The event has since updated its artwork to reflect the change and has removed all traces of Mills from the website.

The latest blow came just hours after Arsenal removed any mention of Mills from their website after he was due to perform DJ sets at Boyzone concerts at the Emirates Stadium this summer.
