A singer song-writer has postponed her intimate gig in Brighton after getting appendicitis.

Phoebe Bridgers, 31, posted on her Instagram story announcing that all UK gigs would be postponed.

This includes two sold out shows due to take place at Chalk on August 20.

Bridgers is perhaps best known for songs including Scott Street and Motion Sickness, however her visit to Brighton was prompted by her new album "Lost Weekend" which is currently sitting at No. 1 in the charts.

The event included a matinee and an evening show. Fans had also been told they were not allowed to use phones at the gig.

Phones, apple watches and other electronics would have been placed in Yondr pouches that use a magnet to lock possessions away safely during the show.

Resident Music, which organised the event, wished Bridgers a speedy recovery.

The record shop said: "We're working with her team right now to come up with a new plan for her Brighton shows.

"More news to follow as soon as we know."
