Mika not right on at Brighton

Mika might sit atop of the album and singles charts like some sort of fabulous squatter, but even he can't beat that really horrible flu-like thing that's laying everyone low at the moment; he pulled his Brighton gig last night. Although we're surprised he said he had flu - we'd have expected him to just hint around, blow his nose a lot and then, when asked if he was ill, have a big flouncy fit about how he didn't have to deny or confirm anything, thank you very much.
