Former Swedish House Mafia star Steve Angello has been drafted in to cover Beady Eye's vacant V Festival slot.
The DJ has been promoted to headline the 4Music Stage - having initially been slated to perform on the Arena Stage - after Beady Eye were forced to pull out due to a serious injury suffered by guitarist Gem Archer.
Archer is currently recuperating after being hospitalised with 'severe head trauma' following an accident. Announcing their cancellation, the band said:
"Beady Eye regret to announce that they are cancelling their performance at V Festival and their remaining scheduled shows and promotional commitments in August due to guitarist Gem Archer suffering severe head trauma after an accident on August 1st.
"The band apologise to fans but under the circumstances feel they can not perform without Gem and want to focus on supporting him throughout his recovery. Gem was released from hospital yesterday evening and is recovering at home though remains under observation."
