Irish group The Cranberries have been forced to scrap their upcoming concert in Michigan to allow frontwoman Dolores O'riordan to tend to a family matter.

The Linger stars were due to play a show in Detroit next Tuesday, but cancelled the gig on Thursday.

Further details were unavailable as WENN went to press.

The Cranberries, who recently reunited after a seven-year hiatus, are expected to fulfil the rest of their US tour commitments as planned.
