The Big Day Out’s Boiler Room headline live act Mylo has canceled his impending Australian tour. Mylo is one of the dance scene’s fastest rising stars, having turned heads across the world since the release of his formative debut album ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’. He was due to feature on the national Big Day Out tour performing with his live band, as well as solo sideshows in Sydney (at Home on January 28th) and Melbourne (at the Prince of Wales on February 2nd). If you bought tickets to Mylo’s sideshow you’ll be able to gain a refund from your point of purchase. In an official statement from the Big Day Out, Mylo’s management stated:

“Myles contracted a virus over the New Year which resulted in partial hearing loss in one ear. Unfortunately the situation has since worsened and he has lost hearing in one ear completely, and has only partial hearing in his other ear. He was hoping that a couple of days rest would help regain his hearing. However, since his arrival in Cape Town for a show and receiving specialist medical treatment, unfortunately no progress has been made. As a result of this, he is grounded in Cape Town and unable to move at the moment. As you can probably imagine it is impossible for him to perform right now and therefore we regretfully have to cancel the Big Day Out shows.”
