He was set to be joined on stage by a number of other artists including Gavin James, Wild Youth, Aimee and Jazzy.

The gig is in aid of Childline by ISPCC - a charity that provides essential support and services to vulnerable children in Ireland.

The artists were scheduled to perform a selection of their favourite songs on the night for free, with all proceeds going to support the charity.

FM104 confirmed that while Lewis can not attend, he will be making a generous gesture of donating £50,000 to the ISPCC.

All ticketholders will be contacted and refunds will be available.

In a statement on Sunday night, FM104 said: "Unfortunately we have made the very difficult decision to postpone FM104's The Gig tomorrow night. Lewis is unable to attend due to illness and is incredibly sorry to let you all down.

"He will be making a personal donation of £50k to the ISPCC. All ticket holders will be contacted as well as all information on refunds being available from point of purchase.

"We wish our good pal Lewis the speediest of recoveries."
