Chuck BerryRock legend Chuck Berry is facing legal action from concert promoters in Spain after canceling two sold-out shows in the country at the weekend.

The Johnny B. Goode star was due to play in the coastal town of Estepona on Saturday and in Leon on Sunday.

But the 81 year old scrapped the dates just one hour before he was expected onstage on Saturday, infuriating the gigs' organizers and the thousands of fans who had turned out for the show.

A statement released by the organizers reads: "With only a few concerts scheduled in our country, his rudeness left his promoter and his fans without a concert."

No reason for the cancellation was given by Berry's agent, but sources close to the singer/guitarist fear the no-show could be something to do with his ailing health.

An insider says, "There were rumors that he's not been feeling well during his current tour, and suffered pain on stage at a concert. We are not sure of Chuck's exact whereabouts at the moment."
