Sophie Ellis-Bextor cancels performance in Cornwall because her children have Covid
She was due to perform at the Rock Oyster Festival this weekend
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has has to cancel her performance in Cornwall because two of her children have tested positive for coronavirus.
The popstar was due to play at the Rock Oyster Festival this weekend but is now unable to attend.
She says she's sad not be able to perform but must put their health first.
Sophie said: “I am so sad to miss the festivals this weekend. This last year I’ve spent so much time dreaming of singing in front of a crowd again and my band and crew were all set to bring the music to you.
"Sadly two of my children have come down with covid so I must stay at home with them and get them back to full health. They are ok at the moment, just sad not to be coming away with me on the tour bus as we’d planned.
"I send lots of love to all involved at Camp Bestival, Rock Oyster and Valley Fest - I know it’ll be an amazing weekend - and I’m heavy hearted not to be there, but health first of course.
"Have a wonderful time if you’re going and to all - stay safe. I’ll be able to disco with you all again soon."
