Peter Kay's angry statement in full as he's forced to cancel another gig

Peter Kay's gigs at the Co-Op Live in Manchester have been postponed for a second time as the venue is still not ready to host large events, leaving the comedian 'very disappointed'

Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, the official account for Peter told followers: "My apologies once again but unfortunately the Co-op Live still isn’t ready and so, as yet, remains untested for a large-scale audience. Tim Leiweke, Chairman and CEO, Oak View Group added: "It’s always been very important to me that we only open Co-op Live when it is safe and appropriate to do so, and rescheduling The Black Keys and Peter Kay gives the dedicated team the time and space needed to finalise systems and measures. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to every fan that has been impacted by this decision and others this week, and join the full team in thanking them for their continued patience and support as we prepare to open our doors."
