Linkin Park Cancel Festival dates

| 05 June 2003

Chester from pop group Linkin Park has been hospitalised with a stomach ache. After several years playing shows with facial signs of intense constipation, the singer finally cracked, forcing the multi-platinum metallers to cancel a bunch of live dates.

Don't worry, they don't affect the UK. Linkin Park are still confirmed to headline Reading and Leeds; as long as the pollen count isn't too high. In the meantime, amuse yourselves by emailing him good wishes to chester@linkinpark.com

A spokesman for their label commented, 'Chester Bennington was admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital last Friday after an attack of severe back and abdominal pains.'
