Royal Festival Hall goes dark as recitalist cancels
mainThe South Bank Centre posted this notice shortly before concert time last night:
Customer Notice – Due to illness and with great regret, Paul Lewis has decided to cancel his concert at Southbank Centre tonight. Ticket holders will be informed of their options via email shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Cool!
I hope their options include a straight refund.
There was a seagull injury reported about Paul in SD some time ago:

I canceled my dentist appointment today for “personal reasons”.
Lucky dentist! 🙂
He came down with a stomach issue on his last day in Montreal last week, but played the final performance anyway. It must have gotten worse – wishing him a speedy recovery!
