Singer Adam Ant had to call off a gig in Liverpool due to illness.
He was due to perform at the Philharmonic Hall earlier, but postponed because of an “inflamed throat”.
While the venue had posted on its website to say “all ticket holders will be contacted with further information”, some fans arrived expecting the concert to go ahead.
Gigs in Cambridge, Southend, Bournemouth, Birmingham, and Guildford have also been shelved on the day since 18 October.
The singer, who turns 70 next month, found fame in the 1980s with his band Adam And The Ants, enjoying a string of Top 10 hits including the number ones Stand and Deliver, Prince Charming and Goody Two Shoes.
