“YUNGBLUD sadly isn’t here,” Tim announced. He elaborated: “He was going to be on last week’s show and he was ill. Then he was going to be on this week’s show and he’s ill again.”, reports the Manchester Evening News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simon contributed: “He’s sent us a sick note Tim. A little handwritten sick note.”<\/p>\n

As Simon read out the note, he conveyed: “In summary, he said, ‘Dear Tim and Simon, I regret to inform you that I Yungblud will not be able to appear on your show this Sunday again. Doctors are insisting I spend the week horizontal.'”.<\/p>\n

Simon disclosed: “He’s got tonsils,” before resuming with Yungblud’s note: “Enclosed is a \u00a320 note in the hope that you will shamelessly promote my album that comes out this Friday, it’s really good.”<\/p>\n

Last week saw Yungblud bow out, with pop and Indie sensation Jerub stepping in at the eleventh hour to fill the void.<\/p>\n

Taking a seat for a chat on the couch with the hosts, Jerub admitted it had been a “tight squeeze” managing to pencil in his studio appearance, but he jumped at the chance when approached, eager to “make it work.”<\/p>\n
