On O2 Arena show Rooney and Gerrard pull the plug

Rooney and Steven Gerrard ENGLAND failures have cancelled their O2 appearance after their World Cup nightmares. The two players were due to compete on July 17 at the Arena alongside fellow stars Cesc Fabregas, Didier Drogba, David Villa and Cristian Ronaldo. But the Three Lions pair have pulled the plug following their part in England's abject performance in South Africa - costing them an estimated £50,000 each. And that has meant the whole event, named A:3K, has been shelved less than three weeks before it was due to be staged. Director of A:3K Terry Byrne said: "Both Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney have made it clear they believe it would be incompatible for them to participate in A:3K at this time. "We fully understand and respect both players' decisions. We could have replaced them with two other players but feel the players involved are six of the best in the world - and that is what we promised we would deliver."All six players have said they will take part in the competition next summer instead.The arrangers said their priority now was to contact ticket holders offering them a refund or tickets for next year. President of International for AEG Live, Rob Hallett, who was promoting the event, added: "As a football fan I totally understand and respect Steven and Wayne's decision to postpone their involvement in A:3K until next year. We look forward to hosting the event at The O2 arena on the rescheduled date in June 2011."Steven Gerrard scored one goal during England's ill fated World Cup campaign, while Wayne Rooney failed to find the net in four matches and was considered one of the biggest let downs of the tournament.

The Scene's set for O2 Arena gig

Wrexham band The Scene have won themselves a place on stage at London's O2 Arena, performing in front of a big crowd and industry experts.
The five-piece outfit might be more used to playing intimate gigs at the pubs and clubs of Wrexham and Chester.
But they won through regional heats to reach the final of a nationwide competition, Live and Unsigned, and are relishing the prospect of playing in front of judges from the music industry.
Drummer Anthony Turner reckons the band have already 'won', no matter where they finish in the competition.
"It's a chance to play at such a big venue and a chance to try and put Wrexham on the map", he said.
The group have only been together for two years and all come from Wrexham.
As well as Anthony on drums, they are Martin Ford on bass, lead singer Spencer Griffiths, guitarist Gareth Holmes, with Jeremy Stokes on keyboards.
In their short time together the band have already played about 100 gigs.
They've got through four stages of the Live and Unsigned competition, a national music competition for original artists, to reach the live final.
Judges have included Slade frontman Noddy Holder and Radio 1 DJ Greg James as well as music industry experts.
The prize up for grabs is a management and touring contract as well as a substantial financial boost.
Whatever the outcome, the band reckon they'll always remain true to their Wrexham roots.
Currently, they're trying to raise money to hire a coach to take their supporters to London to watch them compete in the indie category (10 July).
"We have great support in Wrexham," said Anthony. "We always pull a good crowd."
