KT Tunstall has announced with a "sore heart" her Kelvingrove Bandstand gig due to take place next year has been cancelled due to the pandemic. 

The singer and songwriter has cancelled all three of her "one-off" appearances, including Glasgow's gig which was due to take place on August 5 2021. 

A statement reads: "Covid-19 has absolutely spannered us. One of the trickiest aspects for us touring musicians is trying to reconstruct our Tetris-like gig schedules.

"I am so happy to be joining Hall & Oats on their rescheduled US tour; it's a huge two-month, 25-show run, now taking place August-October 2021. 

"Sadly, as I have no control over the rescheduling of the dates, I've ultimately had to take some really hard decisions about other one-off appearances, whereas it of course all fitted beautifully together before. 

"So it is with a very sore heart that I have to announce I'll no longer be able to play the following UK shows that were rescheduled to 2021. 

"If teleportation was up and running, believe me I would BE there, but sadly I just can't do it all.

"A MASSIVE thank you to the promoters at Kelvingrove Bandstand, Fringe By The Sea and Lamplight Festival for their fantastic support and understanding.

"I am so gutted to have to cancel these appearances for now, but really hopeful for a time when I can return to their stages again."

KT also apologised to ticket holders, adding: "These decisions are impossible to make, but the times we are in means we have to taken them."
