British band, The Enemy, made up of Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts, have apologised to fans after cancelling a string of gigs in Scotland this week
The Enemy has been forced to cancel their gigs this week after a ‘medical emergency.’ Rockers, Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts were due to perform in Scotland tonight and tomorrow. However, due to an issue with one of their family members, their shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh have been cancelled.
Their management issued a statement on the band’s behalf, explaining that the trio had to “rush back home” following the emergency.
It read: “Due to a family medical emergency within the band, they have had to rush back home and both tonight’s show at King Tut’s Glasgow and tomorrow night at The Caves Edinburgh have been cancelled. Refunds will be issued within the next 24 hours.”

It continued: “We are so sorry for the disappointment caused, your support means the world to the band, thank you on their behalf for being so understanding of the circumstances. Many thanks, Management.”
The group, who were formed in Coventry, are still currently scheduled to perform at Brudenell in Leeds on February 27 and 100 Club in London on March 4.
Following news of their cancelled gigs, fans flocked to send their well-wishes.
One wrote: “Hope everything is ok chaps; Sending lots of positivity and healing vibes your way and I hope everything is ok; Thoughts with ya.”
Another shared: “Hope everything is okay; Hope all is well, family should always come first, the shows can wait; Family comes first, hope everyone is okay.”
The Enemy was formed in 2006 and their debut album, We’ll Live and Die in These Towns, went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart a year later.
They first gained acclaim when they were mentioned in NME as the act most likely to “break your windows” for 2007. They supported Oasis, The Fratellis, Kasabian, The Paddingtons, Ash, Manic Street Preachers, The Rolling Stones and Stereophonics on their UK tours.
In June 2007, The Enemy played twice at Glastonbury Festival, first in the ‘Guardian Lounge’ on Saturday and then the much larger ‘Other Stage’ on Sunday.
The Music for the People stars went on to release another three albums and are also about to launch their fifth studio album, Social Disguises, which is on sale later this week.
Taking to Instagram, announcing the news of their latest offering, they wrote: “We can officially say that there is a brand new album by The Enemy being released THIS MONTH.
“It’s been a while since last time we said that!”
