"At this dreadfully difficult time, we request that the privacy of Nic and Chris, and their family and friends is respected.
"Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy extends to Nic, Chris and the Cester family."
Denis Desmond, V Festival organiser, said: "Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy extends to Nic, Chris and the Cester family. It is regrettable that Jet will not be appearing but we and their fans will completely understand their decision."
