British singer cancels show in the Netherlands due to illness, attends Verstappen's race instead

A big letdown for the visitors of the festivals Rock Werchter and Down the Rabbit Hole this weekend in Belgium and the Netherlands. Headliner Sam Fender cancelled at the very last minute due to medical reasons. What's surprising? Fender can be found at the Silverstone circuit watching the Formula 1 in action.

“Hey everyone, at the beginning of the week I got my voice checked by my ENT doctor and the cords were slightly swollen,” Fender himself shared on Friday on his Instagram.

The singer already performed at Silverstone, where he explained he had to sing 'harder than usual.'

He also apologised to his fans. However, staying at home is not in Fender's plans, anyway. He decided to stick around for Formula 1 race in his country, where Max Verstappen later today starts from pole position.
