The band announced on Tuesday that drummer Meg White was suffering from acute anxiety, leaving her unable to travel between concert venues.

The duo, whose hits include Icky Thump, apologised to fans, saying: "We hate to let people down and are very sorry."

Their eight-date arena tour was due to kick off in Glasgow on 24 October, and wrap up at London's O2 on 2 November.

It was to have been the group's largest UK tour yet, following the success of their number one album - also called Icky Thump - earlier this year.

Fans with tickets have been advised to obtain refunds from the point of purchase.
