I Predict A Virus!

The Kaiser Chiefs have had to cancel part of their European tour after one of their travel party was struck down with a "highly contagious and rare virus".

The band have dumped the Spanish leg of their tour while Ricky, Simon, Peanut, Whitey and Nick undergo medical tests. The affected member of the tour has not been identified, and neither has the mystery disease.

A statement on the Chiefs' website said: "It is with deep regret we have to cancel our planned gigs on the Wintercase Tour in Spain this week. These are the first shows in Kaiser Chiefs' history we have cancelled. The cancellation is caused by an outbreak of a highly contagious and rare virus in our travel party."

Let's hope it's not Ebola.
