The boss of the new Co-Op Live Arena has resigned after the opening of the venue was delayed and shows cancelled.
The highly-anticipated show was set to act as the grand opening for the city's flagship new venue, the largest in the UK.

We have work to do this week, we’re not embarrassed by moving Peter Kay.”
