JLS have apologised to fans after cancelling their headline appearance at T4 On The Beach. The group were due to play the Weston-super-Mare event on Sunday (10 July) but due to "production problems" decided to withdraw just as thousands of fans descended upon the site.

In a statement issued via their Facebook page, the group's management explained the reasons for the last-minute cancellation: "JLS flew in for T4OTB and arrived on site at Weston Super Mare at 7:30am for a soundcheck and camera rehearsal. The soundcheck was continually pushed back. JLS were finally able to soundcheck at 9:30am but by this point the gates were open and the crowd were let in which meant JLS could not soundcheck."

The statement continued: "As a result of not being allowed to soundcheck and rehearse JLS cannot perform their set which had been especially created for T4. JLS are gutted they are unable to perform on stage today and are sorry to fans who have travelled to see them but this situation was out of their control."

Not long after, Marvin posted another apology. He wrote: "We are so sorry that we are not performing ... it's something that was beyond our control ... as a 4 piece live singing band there is no way we can do such a huge show without a soundcheck or camera rehearsal ... we are extremely disappointed to let you all down.

He concluded: "All of our fans know us and know that when we perform we go 100% and are 100% happy that we can give you the best, there's no way that we would have done this today and our fans deserve only the best."
