KINGS OF LEON O2 GIG CANCELLED

Band forced to postpone tonight\'s concert after fire

A fire which broke out at the O2 in London has forced the Kings Of Leon to postpone tonight's show.

Around 60 Firefighters are tackled a blaze which broke out in the venue's loading bay this morning, and although the fires were put out and equipment was already being unloaded, it seems that water damage means that the show cannot go on.

No rearranged date has been announced, but tickets will be valid for the new show and refunds will be available from the point of purchase.

Firefighters were called to the venue at around 8.45am (GMT) to tackle a fire which broke out in the loading bay where the band's buses were parked..

London Fire Brigade station manager Sally Cartwright told the Press Association earlier: "Our crews are doing a fantastic job, especially given the levels of smoke down here which has lead to quite challenging conditions.

There were no injuries in the fire.
