Har Mar Superstar cancels all forthcoming gigs - including his Green Energy appearance - after falling ill with "pirate disease"

The hotpress.com newsdesk is positively distraught following the revelation that Har Mar Superstar has been forced to cancel his UK tour supporting Hot Hot Heat – including the highly anticipated Whelan’s show this Saturday – due to a dose of shingles.

"What the fuck? Who gets shingles?" said the scantily clad Ron Jeremy lookalike, speaking on his website. "I'm hoping to also get scurvy, rickets, a peg leg, and a parrot, but only time will tell if I was meant to contract all pirate diseases."
