And now, the star has been given medical advice to rest resulting in their Glasgow show being cancelled. The band assured fans they would reschedule and have urged fans to hold onto their tickets.
And the BBC has now revealed that they have received a total of six allegations of misconduct against Tim Westwood, despite previously insisting that it was unaware of concerns around his behaviour. In April, several allegations were made against for the former Radio 1 DJ which led to him to step down from his Capital Xtra Radio Show. In relation to one complaint which was referred to the police, the BBC said it was a historic case they had found in previous files, and the broadcasting company were establishing the facts for the inquiry which is ongoing. Tim Westwood denies the allegations put against him.
