POPULAR musician Joe Bonamassa has been forced to cancel his Bournemouth gig because of a head cold.

The singer-songwriter, who has opened sets for the likes of BB King, tweeted that he’d be unable to perform at the BIC, as he is due to this evening.

 


Bonamassa has been in the trade for over 25 years, and founded the not-for-profit Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation which helps to promote the heritage of the blues to the next generation by funding music classes in schools.

After Bournemouth he was set to play Brighton for two nights as part of his Fall European Tour of 2015.

He’s already played Nottingham, Newcastle and Liverpool over the last week.
