Diversity star ‘struggling to walk’ after dramatic injury as he’s forced to cancel show – leaving fans devastated
DIVERSITY has been forced to cancel a show with a only a couple of hours’ notice after a star was injured on stage.
Fans have been left devastated by the shock announcement from Ashley and Jordan Banjo‘s dance troupe.
The former Britain’s Got Talent‘s stars were due to perform at Sheffield City Hall this evening.
Sharing a post on Instagram, Diversity said: “IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
“Due to an injury sustained during the Matinee show, tonight’s Diversity performance will not take place.
“Please keep hold of your tickets and await further information over the coming days.”
Some fans had already arrived at the venue – while others were disappointed not to get an apology.
“Best wishes and quick healing to whomever was hurt,” said one well-wisher.
Another said: “You all did amazingly earlier today; I honestly hope everything is okay.”
Meanwhile another follower complained: “There are about 20 of you though right…? As a performer myself and currently sitting across from the theatre waiting for the doors to open would you not still go ahead with the show minus the injured dancer…? Obviously hope they are ok but shame to cancel the whole show.”
Someone else added: “Shame this has happened and of course it’s beyond your control … however I still think an apology would’ve been polite.”
Another said: “Literally just paid to park up and ordered food. Gutted. I hope whoever it is heals well and soon xxxx”
Ashley later posted a video on Instagram to explain he was left “struggling” to walk after the incident.
He said: “We’re all absolutely gutted about tonight’s show in Sheffield… I’m currently struggling to walk let alone dance with the injury, hence why we have had to postpone so close to the show.
“But we’re doing our best to work it out and get the shows back on track as soon as we can.
“We’re so sorry to everyone who has already made their way to the venue. I promise you this is not a decision taken lightly.
“And I know how disappointing it is for a show to be cancelled last minute. If there was any other way, we would’ve have made it work.
“Sorry once again and I’ll keep you updated soon. Much love.”
