Peter Kay postpones shows following a 'routine kidney stone procedure'
Peter Kay has had to reschedule two of his Better Late Than Never... Again! gigs at Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham, after having a "routine kidney stone procedure".
Peter Kay has postponed two shows following a "routine kidney stone procedure".
The 52-year-old comedian has been advised to take a "period of time" to rest, and has had to reschedule his October 5 and October 6 Better Late Than Never... Again! gigs at Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham.
Tour promoter SJM Concerts said in a statement - which was shared on Peter's social media accounts: "We regret to inform you that due to a routine kidney stone procedure, Peter will be unable to perform his scheduled shows at Nottingham Motorpoint Arena on Sunday, October 5, and Monday, October 6.
"Following medical advice, Peter will be taking a period of time to rest and recover."
The October 5 show has been postponed to December 11, and the October 6 performance has been rescheduled to December 12 - with all tickets remaining valid for the new dates.
However, those who cannot make the new dates can get a refund from the "original point of purchase".
SJM Concerts concluded its statement with: "We thank you for your patience and understanding."
Peter's fans have sent their well-wishes to the comic following the announcement.
One user said on Instagram: "Get well soon Peter Xx (sic)."
A second person wrote on X: "Hope you're feeling better soon, and now out of pain as I know by a friend they're debilitating and agony, go back on tour when you're good (sic)."
Kidney stones are hard objects made of minerals and salts in urine, and they can develop in one or both kidneys.
While most of them can pass on their own through the ureter - the tube between the kidney and the bladder - some need to be removed, via surgery.
Kidney stones can be extremely painful and can cause kidney infections or the kidneys not working properly if left untreated.
