BEYONCE - CONFIRMED PREGNANCY?

[Matt42]

I don't know what Beyoncé is trying to achieve by not saying anything. The longer she leaves it, the longer people get annoyed and start selling off their tickets, surely? Unless she's trying a route of letting all these rumours build up and then gaining ridiculous popularity when she doesn't have to cancel all her gigs after all, but that'd seem risky.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

Who knowingly goes to watch an act with the intent to boo because they were stupid enough to buy a ticket for a festival on the basis of one artist that let them down?

Then again, it is V festival.

[Bobinup]

She'll already be six months pregnant by August 5th, whether she has to travel or not is kind of irrelevant in comparison to the fact that she does perhaps the most high-octane performances in the entire music industry and she's professionally-minded in a way that surely would have her think that that anything less than 100% would just not be okay - and she will not be giving 100% when she's 6 months pregnant.

As she would be carrying alot of extra weight, she wouldnt be looking her best or performing her best. That could damage her huge reputation but hopefully people would see why she cancels

[Boris The Spider]

Stop being preggo!:-(

[Rose-Colored Boy]

It's not about what she looks like on stage or whether she'd be "able to perform at 100%"! It's about her health! A pop star would be mad if they went on stage in front of a crowd 2000 people when six months pregnant, even if their previous medical all records were perfect. Beyonce will not be performing in front of crowds of 10,000 for many nights consecutively when carrying a six-month-old-foetus in a body THAT HAS ALREADY HAD ONE MISCARRIAGE. Beyonce was almost destroyed by her first miscarriage, there is not a chance in HELL she would risk that happening again. This is why I'm waiting for an official statement.

I hope she cancels just because i know so many idiots that bought tickets solely for her without the intention of coming to the festival until an hour before she comes on.

[GuitarManDan15]

Removing the date from her website is very ominous. Hope she hasn't pulled out my sister will be devestated as she loves beyonce and couldn't get to her UK tour dates.

As for a replacement chuck a load of money at coldplay, blur or prince?

PULP maybe due to their connection with the festival

Bands like the arctic monkeys, kasabian or Jay-z all have UK festival exclusive appearances and probably couldn't be announced till mid-july.

So my guess is Daft punk I kid of course, I'll go for chris martin stepping in for his mates

Done a bit of facebook stalking.....V have removed all posts on their facebook in relation to B being pregnant and maybe pulling out.......

[sisco]

If she is 6 months pregnant by V she will not be playing it

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Haven't we already established on here at least once that there was no date on her website to remove?!

NOTHING about what is circulating tonight seems new to me.

[daniel.k]

Has Bey done a show since she cancelled?

Im going to look on their page now

If it wasn't the case they could easily leave one comment assuring people that Beyonce is not dropping out; what V are doing sounds to me like damage control.

[Boris The Spider]

Did she do the show the night after the cancelled one?

I always go to V for the weekend, but this year I am meeting my cousin who I persuaded to buy a day ticket as he missed out on her other UK dates so I know he will be super gutted!! The only other band he seemed interested in was Basement Jaxx but I believe they're on the other day. Bummer for him.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

The only difference now Zac is that everyone is reporting it. E news who rarely report unless sure and are very credible. I've seen Daily Mail are now posting saying 'the worst kept secret is out, bey pregnant' or something along those lines.

She's gone.

[Boris The Spider]

I've broken the news to my cousin that she may be pregnant leading to a no show. I feel awful!

[daniel.k]

Do we think V will use all the Beyonce money to get a new headliner or keep some in their pocket, or spread it around the undercard

[Boris The Spider]

They'll probably just pocket the Bey fee and shove someone who is already announced in the headline spot.

[rawaudioinput]

I think they'll get a new headliner but a rock band so they can pocket all the Beyonce ticket sales and then the ticket sales of a wholly different demographic.

[Boris The Spider]

When she was announced I thought I'll watch her because I probably won't see her anywhere else, but no the prospect of her pulling out has really made me want to see her show!

[sisco]

Beyonce would cost massive money, I'm pretty sure they won't spend it all on a replacement.

Just trying to think of a few viable options:

Kasabian or Mumford and Sons would be my guess
