Tribute band Led Zeppelin has been forced to cancel a show after three members caught swine flu.
Whole Lotta Led was due to perform tonight at the Assembly Hall in Worthing.
The band is the second act to have to cancel their performance because of illness.
Michael McIntyre also had to postpone his sold out gig Michael McIntyre Live and Laughing at The Brighton Centre last night after being struck down by flu.
In a message on the Whole Lotta Led website under the heading “Whole Lotta Flu” a statement said: “Due to three members of the band having gone down with swine flu we have had to cancel Friday's gig in Worthing.
“The band hate cancelling gigs but in the current circumstances they have no choice, many apologies for any inconvenience caused.”
A spokeswoman for Worthing Theatres said the show had been popular and it was hoped that it could be rescheduled in the future.
She said: "Unfortunately several band members of Whole Lotta Led have been confirmed as having swine flu and consequently cannot perform. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope the band gets better soon.
"Tickets will be refunded and any ticket queries should be directed to the box office on 01903 206206."
She added that people who had purchased tickets for the show will be notified if it is rescheduled.
Michael McIntyre’s show has been rescheduled to take place on November 15.
A Brighton Centre spokeswoman said: “It is never something we like to do but Michael is not very well so it is unfortunate, but these things happen.
“We have been quite pleased with the way we have been able to use new technology like Twitter and our website to try and tell people as quickly as possible to minimise the inconvenience.
“Hopefully people who are disappointed will be able to come on November 15 instead.”
Anyone who is not able to attend the event on the new date will be able to get a refund.
