Health Issues Force Cancellation
Jeff Lynne was earlier compelled to cancel his scheduled BFT Hyde Park concert this weekend after falling ill.
Neil Young Incident
The cancellation follows an incident on Friday when rock legend Neil Young overstepped the strict 10.30 pm curfew at London's Hyde Park after a marathon concert, prompting organizers to intervene.
- The iconic musician continued his performance past the curfew time, leading to the festival being prematurely ended.
- This isn't the first time such incidents have occurred at the venue, with Bruce Springsteen facing a similar situation in 2012.
