X Factor winner Leon Jackson has canceled his Edinburgh Hogmanay performance due to ill health.

The 19-year-old singer – who’s currently number one in the UK charts with his debut single “When You Believe,” is reportedly suffering from tonsillitis and has been forced to cancel his performances over the next two weeks.

He had been set to kick off the Scottish capital’s annual Hogmanay Street Party with a performance on the Waverley Stage on Monday night.

He said: “I’m just disappointed to be letting people down, but it wouldn’t feel nice to get on stage and not be able to deliver.”

George Grubb, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, has expressed his disappointment that the X Factor winner is unable to play.

He said: “We are very disappointed that Leon is unable to play tonight. His presence would have been a great way to open the celebrations, but we are still very excited about the excellent entertainment that we have lined up on all the stages.

“The fireworks promise to be bigger and better than ever, and tonight’s street party will again confirm that Edinburgh is the ultimate home of Hogmanay.”

Tens of thousands of revelers from all over the world are expected to descend on Edinburgh for the city’s world-famous Hogmanay celebrations.

The annual celebration is set to go ahead as planned as forecasters said that weather conditions would not threaten the festivities.

Tup Tup, don’t agree with a teabagger and you’re referred to as a liberal, if you really knew me, you would know that I’m removed from being liberal. I believe in onerous work, lower taxation, less government spendthrifting simply as a lot as you but the place I differ, I really feel this complete teabag movement is a fraud as a result of if you happen to guys had been really about much less authorities spending you’d also embrace defense spending, we don’t want army bases in nearly each nation you might consider, do you teabaggers ever take into consideration how a lot cash that’s costing us? Steak and Eggs Your hero Sarah Palin is already speaking about Iran as WWIII, how many trillions will that add to the deficit, this is the reason I feel you guys are frauds, there is not means you can be for reducing the deficit and have our military bleed money the best way it is.
