Comedian Russell Brand cancels Belfast date after mother sustains life threatening injuries in crash

Comedian Russell Brand has cancelled his show which was due to take place at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on 26 May.

His mother remains in a critical condition following a crash in England.


Promoters have announced the indefinite postponement of the show.

Brand posted an apology on Twitter: “My mum’s been in a really serious road accident and has sustained what are called poly-traumatic injuries, that means numerous, life-threatening injuries.

“So, I won’t be able to do the rest of my Rebirth tour. If you’ve got tickets, they’ll be refunded or possibly rescheduled but I can’t really imagine that and I certainly can’t imagine performing at the moment, because I feel too sad and too connected to this.

“I apologise but obviously it’s circumstances beyond my control.”

Ticketholders will be refunded via point of purchase.
