Rex FeaturesThe Streets was forced to cancel a gig last night after a last minute power failure at the venue.
The cancellation of the show at London's O2 Brixton Academy left rapper Mike Skinner 'heartbroken'.
'Tonight's Brixton show has been cancelled due to a power cut. Gutted. Not sure what to say really. I was really excited, turned up and no lights in the whole building,' he wrote on his MySpace blog.
'[The venue staff] phoned the power company, who weren't very helpful unfortunately. I'll keep you all posted but the sight of you all outside queuing is heartbreaking.'
Organisers are planning to reschedule the concert and urge everyone to keep hold of their tickets."

Hello Streets people

It's fair to say that in the last week or so, Mike has taken quite a shine to Twitter. That, if you don't know already, is the hot new social website where you can tell people what you're up to in 140 characters or less. So far, Mike has posted 94 updates, telling us such things as how best to make tea, what he's having for dinner, which microphone Dr Dre recommends and whether or not his arms are in Moses-based agony.

If you'd like to join in the fun, then come follow him at www.twitter.com/skinnermike.

Mike Skinner was left injured following The Streets' gig at Cambridge Corn Exchange on Tuesday (January 27), after he hurt himself crowdsurfing.

Part-way through the band's set, Skinner dived into the crowd. As he was carried around the venue, one over-eager fan managed to get hold of the star's belt and refused to let go, leaving the singer in agony.

'Tonight someone held onto my belt so hard that my hernia scar from many years ago opened up to a bright red colour,' Skinner wrote on The Streets' MySpace. 'Looks like a wee organ might pop out of its purpley red bloody gash.'

After the gig, Skinner says a St John Ambulance attendant insisted that paramedics be called. When they arrived, the singer was told to cut down on his crowdsurfing and not let fans grab him so much.

'It seems the era of Moses is over,' Skinner joked on his blog."
