Jess Glynne given lifetime ban from performing at Isle of Wight festival



Jess Glynne has been given a lifetime ban from performing at the Isle of Wight festival, after cancelling her performance with a few minutes notice on Sunday (16 June).

Festival boss John Giddings has told The Mirror that the “Hold My Hand” singer will “never” be booked for the event again, calling her behaviour “shocking”. 

“It shows no regards for people that bought a ticket. It’s so sad that an artist would do that to their fans,” he said. “She’s let them down.” Giddings delivered the bad news to disappointed fans on Sunday.

Athough the singer cited anxiety and exhaustion as reasons for her cancellation, The Mirror reports that she was seen leaving Wembley at 5am on Sunday with Spice Girl Mel B and a group of friends. The star has been supporting the Spice Girls on their reunion tour.

Glynne, Mel B and co reportedly continued the party at a nearby hotel until 7am.

A statement from the singer and her management stated that she had “every intention of performing”, was “extremely frustrated” at having to cancel but “her health must come first”.

This is the second time Glynne has pulled out of an Isle of Wight festival slot – she cancelled her 2015 performance in order to undergo vocal surgery. She also pulled out of her BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend performance earlier this year, minutes before she was on due on stage.

Jess Glynne’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
