The Verve Have NOT Pulled Out Of The V Festival

The Verve have denied rumours that guitarist Nick McCabe has been sectioned and that the band were going to cancel performing at the V Festivals this month.

During their apprearance in Japan this weekend, it was reported that McCabe had been hospitalised immediately after the gig and had flown home alone. A spokesperson for the band has since rubbished this however, saying that all that had happened to the guitarist was a cut on his finger.

Speaking to NME.com, the insider said: "Contrary to rumours circulating, Nick McCabe cut his finger on a piece of glass in dressing room after the gig in Japan. He was treated at the scene and then flew home. He's fine except for sore finger and that won't effect their appearance at V at the weekend."

V Festival takes part on August 16th and 17th at Chelmsford and Leeds.
