<p>It comes after the 23-year-old, winner of the Critics’ Choice prize at last year’s Brit Awards, also dropped off the line-up for the Isle of Wight festival.</p>
<p>In a message to fans, Fender, from North Shields, said he was “absolutely gutted” but had been told by doctors not to play.</p>

<p>Fender was due to play on Glastonbury’s John Peel stage on Friday afternoon.</p>
<p>He also cancelled a string of upcoming dates including one on Thursday night in Bristol.</p>
<p>However, in the same post he announced to fans that he would be releasing new music very soon.</p>
<p>He said on Twitter: <em>“Absolutely gutted to share that I’ll not be able to perform at Glastonbury this weekend. It’s always been a dream to play at Worthy Farm and I wouldn’t miss it for the world but the docs have told me I need longer to recover from illness.</em></p>
<p><em>“Hopefully we’ll get a chance to return next year. Sadly our performs at Eurockeennes, Down The Rabbit Hole and Barn on The Farm festivals next week are also cancelled.</em></p>
<p><em>“Massive apologies to all and especially those in Bristol tomorrow, your tickets will be valid for another rescheduled show on August 9th or you can get a refund.</em></p>
<p><em>“Massive love to you all and thank you for your understanding. Ps. On a slight positive, we have some new music coming out next week.”</em></p>
<p>On Tuesday, Snow Patrol also pulled out of the festival due to medical reasons.</p>
<p>Piano and guitar player Johnny Mcdaid has been diagnosed with a serious neck problem and advised “the only course of action is immediate surgery”.</p>
<p>Lead guitarist Nathan Connolly is recovering from nerve damage, leaving the band cancelling a number of shows until the Latitude festival a week after TRNSMT in Glasgow.</p>
