“I’m incredibly sorry to cancel as I was really looking forward to returning to Mallacoota where I spent some time recently,” Daryl said.

“I’m having a few days rest and will be back on track next week.”

Details of the exact reason for the trip to hospital have not been revealed, however a source told the publication it is not serious and not coronavirus related.

The singer was replaced by Jon Stevens for the Mallacoota gig on Saturday night.
