Azealia Banks has cancelled her slot at Glastonbury Festival tomorrow (27 June) and has been replaced by The Strypes.

The rapper, who finally released her long-delayed debut album Broke With Expensive Taste last year, was due to appear on the Other Stage tomorrow afternoon, but will no longer be appearing.

News of her cancellation was revealed on Glastonburys' Twitter account, but no reason was given, and she's yet to make any statement herself. 

In fact, despite usually being a fairly prolific presence on Twitter, Banks hasn't tweeted since Wednesday. She has been working on her role as the titular lead character in the forthcoming film Coco - her first film role.

Meanwhile, The Strypes, a four-piece rock band from Ireland (who could not be more different from Banks), release their second album, Little Victories, in July.
