Shaboozey on stage in Nashville last year

Brit Awards bosses have been forced to add one extra act to this year’s performer line-up, after one of its booked singers pulled out at the eleventh hour.

Last month, US country singer Shaboozey was one of the first performers revealed to be taking to the stage at this year’s Brits, after being nominated in the Best International Song category.

However, over the weekend, with less than a week to go until the Brits, Shaboozey revealed he would no longer be appearing at the Brits due to “reasons beyond my control”.

“I want to say good luck to all the nominees and to all the performers on the night,” he added. “I’ll be watching from home with the rest of you, wishing I was there.”
