Lebanese-born singer MIKA has disappointed fans in Denmark after cancelling a series of gigs due to an ear infection.The Grace Kelly hitmaker was set to appear at two music festivals in Denmark this month, but was rushed to Wellington House Hospital in London after complaining of pain in his ear - with the medical complaint leaving him unable to sing. A spokesperson for the star, real name Michael Penniman, says, "He has been suffering from a viral ear infection which means he can’t sing. He has had to cancel a couple of appearances in Denmark but he is on the mend." But the chart-topper is keen to reassure fans that he will be back on stage soon, saying: "I’m fine. There is no need to worry. I feel okay and it’s just routine."
