Kerry Katona pulls out of ‘Atomic Kitten’ gigs leaving ZERO original members as the band plays to just 21 people in Dubai
The singer was reportedly unwell after a recent trip to India and was not able to perform at the gig that was falsely advertised as Atomic Kitten
KERRY Katona was forced to pull out of a gig in Dubai after falling ill, leaving zero original members of Atomic Kitten to perform.
It was thought that Kerry was due to perform alongside Liberty X's singer Michelle and former Pop Idol star Zoe Birkett – in a gig that had reportedly been falsely billed as Atomic Kitten.
“When he realised how small the crowd was they decided to push the show back by an hour. As they waited for the room to fill up, both Michelle and Zoe happily chatted to fans in the lobby.
“It was then that the girls told concert goers that Kerry had to pull out of the tour after she had taken ill before their gig in Mumbai six days ago.”
Kerry had been performing with Zoe and Michelle in India previously - where they were billed as Atomic Kitten's Kerry Katona, Liberty X's Michelle Heaton, and Zoe Birkettt.
Atomic Kitten’s band management have since revealed they are pursuing legal action against the promoter – who they claim also falsely billed the band to play in Mumbai.
They said: “The Mumbai concert was not nor ever was supposed to be an Atomic Kitten Gig and has been falsely advertised by the promoter to which effect we are currently pursuing legal action against.
“This same promoter has then promoted another gig in Dubai once again falsely advertised as the girls where never even invited to attend to perform.”
NOT MADE-UP! Kerry Katona slammed by fans for putting full face of make up on 10-year-old daughter
Original band member Liz McLarnon also tweeted a post saying a number of dates had been falsely advertised in India.
The original line up consists of Kerry, Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon.
Earlier this year it was revealed that Michelle Heaton would be filling in for Liz during their recent international tour because Liz is terrified of flying.
Michelle said at the time: “We’ve been friends for years and as you know Liz doesn’t do long-haul flights very well and she didn’t feel comfortable going all the way to Australia.
“The girls asked whether I would step in and I was over the moon! I was like I get to be in Atomic Kitten.”
