The full statement said: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Bryan Adams show at the Emirates Riverside Durham has been cancelled. Refunds will be processed automatically by your point of purchase.”

The gig was part of Bryan Adams ‘So Happy it Hurts’ tour and many fans who’d bought tickets will have been left confused, with the two performances either side of Chester-le-Street concert – at Scarbrough on July 1 and Floors Castle, Kelso in Scotland on July 6 – still going ahead.

Fans who have purchased tickets have been given the option of a two-for-one rate offer for the Floors Castle gig. However Kelso is around 80 miles from the original venue.
