X Factor winner, Leon Jackson has pulled out of a show at tonights Edinburgh Hogmany celebrations due to illness.
Leon will be unable to sing for the next two weeks due to a bad bout of tonsilitis.
Leon said: “I’m just disappointed to be letting people down, but it wouldn’t feel nice to get on stage and not be able to deliver.”
The 19-year-old had the Christmas number one single with When You Believe.
George Grubb, Edinburgh City Council’s Lord Provost, said: “We are very disappointed that Leon is unable to play tonight.
“His presence would have been a great way to open the celebrations, but we are still very excited about the excellent entertainment that we have lined up on all the stages tonight.
“The fireworks promise to be bigger and better than ever, and tonight’s street party will again confirm that Edinburgh is the ultimate home of Hogmanay.”
