Famous hitmaker cancels one of his Australia shows! What happened?
- Replies 18
When it comes to live performances, fans eagerly anticipate the chance to see their favourite artists in action.
Crowds are ready to sing along to the tunes that have become the soundtrack of their lives.
However, unforeseen circumstances could lead to disappointment and leave a sour note to excited fans.
This was precisely the case for fans of Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, who abruptly cancelled his concert in Perth, Australia.
The Grammy-winning rock icon, known for his timeless hits such as 'Everything I Do (I Do It For You)', 'Summer of '69', and 'Heaven', was all set to perform at the RAC Arena as part of his So Happy It Hurts tour.
The stage was set, and the excitement from his fans was palpable.
Yet, just hours before the show was scheduled to start, a disgusting discovery put a halt to the evening's plans.
Staff discovered a 'fatberg'—a monstrous mass of fat, grease, and rags that had caused a blockage in the city's sewer system.
The fatberg threatened to back up the venue's toilets, creating a health hazard among attendees.
The RAC Arena and its surrounding areas were at risk of wastewater overflows.
This risk prompted the city's water corporation to issue a warning and advise people to avoid contact with any pooled water potentially contaminated with sewage.
As the RAC Arena crew worked tirelessly to clear the blockage and manage the situation, Adams' team decided to cancel the sold-out show for public safety.
Bryan Adams took to social media to express his regret over the cancellation.
'I'm really sorry we couldn't make this happen tonight. I was so looking forward to seeing you all,' Adams posted online.
'I appreciate your patience and support and can't wait to be back and play for you as soon as we can reschedule.'
While the Perth concert was a no-go, Adams still has scheduled shows across Australia, including Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.
In light of the recent cancellation, WA Premier Roger Cook apologised for the cancellation of the show.

The incident served as a stark reminder of the importance of proper waste disposal and the impact it could have on public infrastructures.
Fatbergs are not only a nuisance but also a significant environmental concern, as they could lead to overflows that pollute waterways.
For Bryan Adams' fans in Perth, the cancellation was undoubtedly a letdown.
However, his commitment to his fans and his promise to return for a rescheduled performance offered a silver lining to this unfortunate event.
