KUALA LUMPUR: Australian singer The Kid Laroi has cancelled his Asian tour, which included a concert at the Singapore Expo Hall 7 on Nov 1 and Zepp KL in Jalan Hang Tuah here on Nov 4.
Those who had bought tickets received an email from ticketing agency Sistic with a message from him announcing the cancellation.
"My fans are everything to me, and I'm always committed to delivering the best performance and experience at every show," the 21-year-old wrote.
"Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, we've had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Asia tour. This was not an easy choice, but I promise I'll be back on the road soon. I can't wait to perform and celebrate with all of you next time."
The email, signed off by Sistic on behalf of concert organisers LAMC Productions and Kid Laroi Artiste Management, added that ticket holders will receive a full refund.
LAMC co-founder Ross Knudson said in a Straits Times report yesterday that it was solely the artiste's decision to cancel his Asian tour.
On Oct 22 ticket buyers from Malaysia received an email from ticket seller Ticket Empire, with a similar cancellation note from The Kid Laroi.
Knudson said: "Hopefully, the show will get rescheduled because lots of fans here are looking forward to seeing him."
The Kid Laroi is best known for Stay (2021), a duet with Canadian pop star Justin Bieber which was the top song amongst Apple Music users in 2022.
The singer, whose real name is Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, last performed in Singapore in 2022.
