Deadmau5 Replaces Avicii At Ultra Music Festival

_Dj Deadmau5 has stepped in to replace ailing Avicii_ at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida.

The Wake Me Up hitmaker has been forced to scrap his weekend shows at the event following a medical emergency, which prompted him to axe gigs on Thursday (27Mar14) and Friday (28Mar14).

Now festival organisers have announced Deadmau5 will take his place in the line-up at Bayfront Park on Saturday night (29Mar14).

Avicii checked in to a Miami-area hospital on Thursday following problems with his gallbladder.

A statement from festival bosses reads: "Avicii has been diagnosed as having a blocked gall bladder and is currently being evaluated for a potential surgery to remove his gall bladder. He has had to cancel all his commitments for the week."
