X Factor Wagner cancels his gigs

X Factor star Wagner has cancelled his shows at Wolverhampton Civic Hall and Busby's in West Bromwich – blaming an unexpected problem with his musicians.

Wagner, who left his home in Pensnett, Dudley, to live in the Worcestershire countryside, was due to play in West Bromwich on March 23 and Wolverhampton on March 30.

He apologised today and said: "A problem occurred within the musicians, meaning that I would not be able to present the audience the full repertoire." Civic spokesman Jonn

Penney said refunds are available at point of purchase.
