Lady Antebellum cancel concert due to floods

Country music group Lady Antebellum were forced to cancel a concert on Saturday (12Apr14) due to flooding in Birmingham, Alabama.

The Need You Now hitmakers were set to play at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre, however, the venue was left severely damaged after the city was hit by severe storms.

The singers took to Twitter.com to express their regret for cancelling the show, writing, "Hate to not be playing Birmingham today but pray y'all stay safe and hope the flood recovery goes smoothly."
