Bad news for rockabilly fans as The Stray Cats have been forced to cancel their Dublin show this weekend.

The Stray Cats' upcoming Vicar Street gig has been cancelled after their drummer Slim Jim Phantom injured his hand during their London show earlier this week.

The drummer broke his hand in three places, leading to the cancellation of the group's Farewell European Tour, including the September 14 Irish date.

The band "deeply regret" having to cancel. All tickets are refundable through point of purchase.
