Illness forces Jessie J out of Dublin gig

Jessie J has been forced to pull out of her support slot with Justin Timberlake in Dublin's Phoenix Park tonight due to illness, promoters said.

"The Coronas have been added to tonight’s Phoenix Park line up as guests to Justin Timberlake, stepping in for Jessie J as she is unable to perform at the concert due to illness," MCD said in a statement.

"MCD would like to wish Jessie a speedy recovery and apologise to fans for any inconvenience caused."

The Coronas join the line up alongside James Arthur.

The news follows the singer's cancellation yesterday of a planned interview with 2FM after she lost her voice.
