Bryan Adams fans have been left ‘gutted’ after his Durham tour date next month was cancelled due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’.

The summer-of-‘69 singer has called off a gig at the Emirates Riverside, Chester-le-Street, which was due to take place on July 5.

He is currently travelling across the country with his ‘So Happy it Hurts’ tour and was due to perform at the Durham cricket ground for one night only.

But this week ticketing company Ticketmaster told fans that the show had been cancelled due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ and that refunds would be issued automatically.

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

Disappointed fans took to Twitter to express their unhappiness at the music legend’s gig being called off.

One user said: “Gutted Bryan Adams [has] cancelled Durham in a few weeks! Was looking forward to that.”

Another commented: “So unhappy it hurts”

While another poster said they were ‘so disappointed’ by the news.

The Canadian star behind hits including (Everything I Do) I Do It For You and Heaven will still play tour dates at the Open Air Theatre in Scarbrough on July 1 and Floors Castle, Kelso in Scotland on July 6, the night after the cancelled gig.

The Northern Echo has contacted Bryan Adams' team for a comment.
