Skream forced to cancel gigs due to broken leg

He's had to pull out of Newcastle and Belgium

Skream's had to cancel some gigs this weekend after breaking his tibia bone in his leg.

It turns out he tripped at the top of his stairs last week, according to a conversation with Bristol producer Hodge, announcing the injury on Twitter this morning.

He'll no longer be playing at Digital in Newcastle or XO Extrema Outdoor in Belgium, tweeting he's "just not ready to attempt to play this weekend."

He did say it went through his mind to try and play through the pain, but wisely decided to get "used to moving about."

He's got a cast on for six weeks but reckons he'll be playing shows in two weeks. Just in time for Sub Club in Glasgow. Get well soon, Oli!
