TOO MUCH KISSING?

The mutterings that the Kaiser Chiefs are working themselves into an early grave grow into a smattering of "told you so": the Kaisers have pulled their Spanish tour due to an outbreak of a "rare virus" in the camp band band camp:

"It's with deep regret we have to cancel our planned gigs on the Wintercase Tour in Spain this week. These are the first shows in Kaiser Chiefs history we have cancelled. The cancellation is caused by an outbreak a highly contageous & rare virus in our travel party. Unfortunately this has lead to enforced cancellation of all Kaiser Chiefs gigs this week until each of the band has the all-clear following medical tests. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause and hope you understand the strange circumstances that have lead to this. We hope it's not too long before we have the chance to visit Spain again.

"We apologise for any disappointed Spanish fans and those of you that were travelling from anywhere else. We hope you still enjoy The Tears at these gigs. "

(They were due to play with Brett and Bernard, they don't mean that they want people to revel in crying their hearts out at an empty venue.)

Hepatitis A, apparently, in case you're wondering.
