The singer has been told to rest and the show has been rescheduled for May 16, with original tickets valid for the new date.
In a statement the band said they were optimistic that all the remaining dates of their UK tour would continue as planned.
With the rescheduled date included, the recently-reformed ska legends are set to play at the O2 Brixton Academy on May 7, 8, 11, 12 and 16.
Tickets are sold out.
