"Unfortunately our David has fallen ill with a chest infection and is totally unable to perform tonight.

"On doctors orders he needs to rest in order to recover and continue with the tour. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused to you all. This show was the first one we sold out and we were so excited for you all tonight."

Tonight's show was set to be the start of a record-breaking run at the Enmore, with the band scheduled to play six shows at the venue in the coming week.

The show has been re-scheduled for 31 January 2019, with current tickets to be honoured. Those who wish to get a refund can do from their point of purchase from now until midnight Friday, 30 November.

The rest of the shows are scheduled to go ahead as planned.

The news comes just weeks after Le'aupepe informed the crowd at their Forum Theatre show in Melbourne on 6 November that his voice was "fucked" and had been given steroids as treatment prior to the show. Read the review here.
