Kelly quits Big Weekend

FORMER Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland has cancelled her headline appearance at this year’s Manchester Pride. 
 
The singer, who had been confirmed to headline the Sunday at Manchester Pride's Big Weekend, has expressed her sincere apologies and looks forward to returning to Manchester soon.
 
Jackie Crozier, festival manager of Manchester Pride, says: "In circumstances beyond our control, Kelly Rowland will no longer be performing at this year’s Pride celebrations.

''Our disappointment will no doubt be shared by many of the festivals fans…we still have an exciting Big Weekend line-up confirmed as part of Pride’s ten-day celebrations. And of course, we hope to find a replacement for Kelly in time for the festival.”      
 
Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend celebrations will include performances by the Freemasons, Peter Andre, Bananarama and Little Boots.
 
Other confirmed artists include: Kid British, The Whip, The Blow Waves, Booty Luv, Lonnie Gordon, Frankmusik and Tommy Sparks.
