A MEMBER of reggae pop legends UB40 will not be part of their upcoming UK tour.

Saxophonist Brian Travers will miss the band’s 38-date tour across Britain, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

But the group have announced that the tour will go ahead as scheduled.

The tour, which will celebrate UB40’s 40th anniversary, is due to kick-off on Friday, March 29 at the Guildhall in Portsmouth.

UB40 will come to the White Rock Theatre, Hastings, on April 2.
