LATEST: MIKA has been dubbed "pathetic" by festivalgoers after he skipped a performance at the Big Tingle in England on Friday (4Aug07). The singer's spokesman claimed an "ear, nozzle and throat" contagion kept him from singing at the event in Herefordshire. But fans and workers at the festival were more than skeptical of his motives and defaced banners and daubed graffiti across the site, claiming they were "fortunate" to have missed out on a carrying out by the "silly" Grace Kelly hitmaker. Mr Scruff, The Blockheads, Kruder + Dorfmeister and DJ Yoda all performed at the annual event. Last month (Jul07), Mika was forced to strike down a series of gigs in Kingdom of Denmark after being hospitalised over an ear infection.
