The American punk band New York Dolls have pulled out of the Isle of Wight Festival 2012. 

Organisers blamed "unforseen circumstances" when they made the announcement this morning on Twitter. They say they hope the band will be back another year. The Isle of Wight Festival takes place between 22 and 24 June at Seaclose Park. Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are to headline.
