Blue tour goes on

GOOD news for fans of Blue following a hospital visit for Manchester member Simon Webbe.

Simon, 24, fell ill with a reported viral infection as the four-piece rehearsed their dance routines ahead of a UK arena tour, which begins on Monday, November 3.

But I'm told that the singer is well on the road to recovery and that concerns about the tour's possible cancellation are unfounded.

"Simon was told to take a break of 24 hours but was due to rejoin the band for rehearsals today," a source tells me.

"The tour should begin as planned in Belfast on Monday. The dates in Manchester are unaffected."

Blue will play at the MEN Arena on Friday, December 19 and twice on Saturday, December 20. Tickets are £23.50 - call 0870 060 1768 or visit the website below.
