McLachlan cancels show


Sarah McLachlan cancelled at the last minute her Saturday night concert at London’s John Labatt Centre, citing “illness.”
A press release issued late Saturday stated the cancellation was “due to illness” — though it didn’t specify if the world-renowned singer, who did a sound check at the JLC earlier in the day, is the one who fell ill.
There are unconfirmed suggestions, though, that McLachlan lost her voice.
The JLC is advising people to hang on to their tickets from the cancelled Saturday show.
