Jazz great Nancy Wilson has cancelled her appearance at the upcoming Melbourne Jazz 2008 concert.

Nancy was hospitalised last week with a collapsed lung. Initially only her immediate commitments were cancelled, but her management has now decided it’s better to be safe than sorry.

“We were all looking forward to this trip and are very disappointed that we cannot be there, but obviously Nancy’s health must take priority,” her manager John Levy said.

The show will still go ahead, with Brazilian guitarist Yamandu Costa playing a double bill instead. But if you’ve got tickets and you’d rather give them up, full refunds are available at the point of purchase.
