He was set to perform his new show Re:birth for fans at His Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen last night.

The show’s cancellation was announced by Brand’s promoters hours earlier. Fans were advised to keep tickets for the performance which will be rescheduled.

Brand’s promoters said: “Due to a personal emergency Russell’s promoters regrettably announce the postponement of Russell’s tour date at His Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen tonight.”
