KEY POINTS:
Pop-opera quartet Il Divo has cancelled its New Zealand concert in February because Auckland's Vector Arena will not be completed in time.
Promoter Paul Dainty said no suitable alternative venue was available to fit in with the group's itinerary, so the NZ leg of the tour would not be able to go ahead.
"We apologise to all the fans and are assured that Il Divo are committed to come to New Zealand in the not too distant future," he said.
The international chart toppers sang the official song, Time Of Our Lives, at the opening game of the soccer World Cup in Munich in June.
