Heartbroken: Katy B.
Headline act Katy B has pulled out of tomorrow night’s MTV Crashes Derry gig following the death of her brother.
On its official twitter account, MTV said: “Due to a family bereavement, @KatyB has had to cancel her performance at #MTVCrashes Derry.”
The music channel added AfroJack, Professor Green and MNEK would still perform at the Ebrington venue.
It is unclear whether Katy B will be replaced.
The pop star has cancelled all appearances for the forseeable future following the death of her brother, Andrew.
Katy B, whose real name is Kathleen Anne Brien, took to Instagram to pay tribute to her only brother.
She said: “This morning, the most beautiful soul I ever knew passed away. He had a cardiac arrest and his heart stopped. I am still in total and utter shock. My one and only brother Andrew Brien did not deserve to die this young.
“He was the kindest person, he was never spiteful, judgemental or rude. He had banter for days and I still can’t even believe I will never hear that loud laugh or see that Cheshire cat smile again that made whatever worry I had on my mind dissolve.”
