OConnor bows out of Wotapalava

Sinead OConnor will not be performing in this summers queer music festival Wotapalava, citing unforeseeable family commitments. She claims she will try to fit some of the 18-city tour dates into her schedule, however. The event, which is being organized by the Pet Shop Boys, currently has PSB, Soft Cell, and gay troubadour Rufus Wainwright, among others, on the roster.
