Cardi B has pulled out of her headline slot at Parklife music festival.

The hip-hop star was set to perform at the Manchester event on Saturday.

She had already had to cancel a number of tour dates in May as she recovered from surgery - with a representative for Cardi B saying she was adhering to "strict doctors' orders".

Parklife organisers said: "As some of you will have seen, Cardi B was forced to cancel some performances in May.

"The Parklife team have just been notified that Cardi now also needs to pull out of Parklife this weekend. As such there will be some changes to the previously advertised line-up, stage splits and times."

"We are working on this currently."
