Mike Skinner - lead singer of The Streets has announced on twitter that they have had to cancel their UK gigs this weekend. The frontman announced that bass player Wayne Vibes has come down with swine flu so their planned gigs at the Summer Sundae Festival in Leicester, and Edinburgh Picture House will not be going ahead. The Filthy Swine can't help but see the irony of this tradgic turn of events, given that the streets have released their own tribute to the terrible virus titled: 'He's Behind you, He's Got Swine Flu'. The songs lyrics includes the line - 'decapitate your mate' - a useful tip in trying to prevent the spread of the virus. The Filthy Swine is wondering if Mike Skinner will be decapitating his fellow band member personally - i've got an axe you could borrow, Mike? Luckily for you - all you have to do is click HERE to go to Filthy's video page and hear the tune. Whatsmore, you can hear a remix from the altogether far superior genre of Drum And Bass to! ... What're you waiting for?

The Filthy Swine would like to remind it's users of the seriousness of the A\H1N1 flu strain that has recently been discovered (i.e. Swine Flu). As with seasonal flu, complications can arise for a number of reasons, it is advisable to contact a health professional once you start feeling the onset of flu, and then contact a health professional if any further symptoms arise, or if you start to feel your condition deteriorate. Don't underestimate the benefits of rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and not putting any other unneccesary strains on your body, and particularly your immune system.
