Russell Brand cancels tour after mum hurt in car crash
Comedian Russell Brand has cancelled the remainder of his ReBirth tour after his mother, Barbara, sustained "life-threatening" injuries in a car crash.
In a Twitter video he confirmed tickets will be refunded with shows "possibly" being rescheduled at a later date.
Brand also praised the "importance and significance" of the NHS and said it had previously saved his mother´s life six times following cancer.
He added he would take a break from social media to focus on his family.
The announcement follows the short-notice cancellation of a show in Aberdeen following the crash on Friday.
