A Red Hot Chilli Pipers gig in the USA has been cancelled - because Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally nearby.

The Scottish bagpipe band had been booked to play at the historic Victory Theatre in Evansville, Indiana on Thursday night.

However, the concert was cancelled after Trump announced he would be holding a rally at The Ford Centre, just across the road from the theatre.

In a statement, Victory Theatre management said: "Due to the proximity of the Victory Theatre to the Ford Center where President Trump is holding his campaign rally, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers concert scheduled for August 30th has been cancelled.

"Refunds will be processed at the original point of sale."

Fans of the band have been left disappointed by the decision.

On the Victory Theatre Facebook page, one said: "Think they're cancelling the wrong event."

No reason has been given for the cancellation, but it is thought it is likely due to security concerns.
