Calvin Harris Cancels MTV EMA Performance. But Why?

Calvin Harris no longer perform onstage at 20th annual MTV European Music Awards taking place this 9th November at Glasgow, Scotland. But Why?

Here’s the statement posted on the official page of the show.
“Hey #MTVEMA fans – we have some really sad news,” said MTV. “Calvin Harris has taken ill and will not be able to perform at tomorrow’s show. He sends his sincere apologies. Get well soon, Calvin!”

“I’m looking forward to Nicki. I think she is going to be an amazing host,” he shared. “Her performance is going to be very over the top. And we just announced this morning one of the biggest bands in history – U2, which is a massive coup and promises to be an incredible performance. We’re going to have amazing tribute to Ozzy Osborne, performances by Charli XCX, Royal Blood, Calvin Harris, Enrique Iglesias, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande. The list just goes on and on. And we’ve got some really cool collaborations, just incredible stuff that you’ll only see here. I look at the line-up and I’m excited about every single act. I know that’s something that you would expect to hear form me, but in this case it’s absolutely accurate.”

Harris released his new album Motion on 4th November.
