HARD-FI ABSENCE

In a statement on their official website, Hard-Fi have apologised for missing Glastonbury - although it's not like they really need to:

Hard-Fi apologize for being unable to perform at this weekends Glastonbury Festival.
Both to be asked to play the Love Music/Hate Racism event and The John Peel Tent was an honour that they were very much looking forward to.
Unfortunately, on Saturday afternoon, Richard's mother became critically ill and he needed to be by her side.
This was due to be an amazing weekend for the band, to play Glastonbury, a dream for them, on the weekend of their first top ten record and the are sorry for any inconvenience.
This weeks concerts in Glasgow and Germany have also been cancelled.

Sadly, Richard's mother died. Our sympathies to him and his family.
