Fans are fearing stars Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen may not show up at this weekend's V Festival in Chelmsford.
Winehouse, 23, has pulled out of two support slots for the Rolling Stones in Germany after being admitted to hospital last week suffering "exhaustion".
Meanwhile, Allen, 22, is ill and has cancelled four gigs in Europe, but says she's still hoping to appear at V.
She wrote on her MySpace site: "I've got sinusitis and strep throat and have been advised to take a couple of weeks off by a doctor ... I should be better by the V Festival."
Winehouse is due to appear at V in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, on Saturday, while Allen is billed for Sunday.
The organisers of the festival could not be reached for comment last night.
