The Corrs cancel on The Prince...

Irish supergroup The Corrs yesterday got a boat back to Ireland after canceling a royal gala concert in London and rescheduled six other shows because the lead singer has an ear infection. Speaking to ShowBizIreland.com exclusively The Corrs publicist in Ireland said "Andrea Corr got an ear infection on Saturday in Cannes. It was not gone by the next day so we had to get a doctor. She's been told to take 10 days off and because she can't fly due to the ear infection she had to get the boat back to Ireland today."

The infection has forced the band to axe the show at the Royal Albert Hall next Monday, which the Prince of Wales was to attend. The six concerts in the last week of the band's "In Blue" tour have also had to be rescheduled to dates in April.

Andrea (26), the youngest member of the band, was instructed by doctors not to perform for at least two weeks, a record company spokeswoman said. "Unless she has complete rest from touring and performing at this time, she is likely to incur permanent damage," she added.

Band member Jim Corr said: "This is the first time in our career that we have had to pull shows. We are really sorry to disappoint the fans, and look forward to making it up to them."

Prince Charles asked the group to play in aid of his Prince's Trust after he saw them perform at Party In The Park last summer.

Organisers said it would not be possible to reschedule the gala concert at the Royal Albert Hall. A spokesman for the Prince said yesterday: "He is very disappointed and hopes Andrea will make a speedy recovery."

The Corrs, whose hits include "I Never Loved You Anyway, and, Breathless... will now reschedule concerts in Aberdeen, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester.
