Catherine D'Lish was due to hold workshops and shows in London, Bradford and Brighton.

After pulling out of London Burlesque Festival over what organiser Chaz Royal labelled “contract breeches“, American superstar Catherine D’Lish arranged for shows and workshops around the UK to take place over this weekend in Brighton, Bradford and London in conjunction with Secrets In Lace.

An email from her management this afternoon to attendees confirms that they have all been cancelled.

It is with huge regret that due to unforeseen circumstances Catherine’s workshops and shows have had to be cancelled.

Catherine is totally devastated by this news.

We have done everything within our power to make things happen but unfortunately it was out of our control in the end.

A full refund will automatically be issued to you in the coming days.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment this cancellation has caused you.

We’re already looking at replacement dates at the end of the year and will contact all the original ticket holders first.

A source at the Hippodrome Casino has separately confirmed the cancellation of her show there tomorrow night. New Bradford Playhouse Theatre have also informed ticket purchasers of the cancellation.

Those who have bought tickets to the workshops and/or shows should be able to claim refunds from the point of purchase.

More as we get it – keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter channels for the latest information.
