Watch for these “current circumstances,” music fans. They can remove a residence.
Concrete example, Black Eyed Peas canceled his PH Live residency, which was scheduled to launch the day before Valentine’s Day. Instead, the band was left heartbroken, posting on Instagram Stories on Monday: “To our dearest Peabodies, it is with heavy hearts that, in light of current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not be will not go as planned. Ticket providers will automatically issue full refunds. Stay tuned for updates on future performances by following us – we look forward to seeing you again.
Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap and Taboo Are Black Eyed Peas listed in the range. Great Las Vegas Guitar Georges Pajon was also expected to return to the group.
The show reportedly suffered from low ticket sales, something the band did not respond to. Dubbed “Black Eyed Peas: 3008 The Las Vegas Residency,” the series was scheduled to run over 15 dates, from February 15 to 22 and continuing through select dates in March and May.
The group’s bow was the second significant change to the headliners’ schedules at PH live in four days. Friday, Scorpions pushed its five-show 60th anniversary run to Augustciting drummer Mikkey Dee’s ongoing health crisis brought on by sepsis. These dates are on sale now.
