Benson Boone at the O2 Arena: Will London shows still go ahead after popstar cancelled Birmingham concert?
Benson Boone cancelled his Birmingham American Hearts Tour last minute over the weekend, but will he still perform at London’s O2 Arena this week?
On Saturday (November 1) Benson Boone abruptly cancelled his Birmingham concert on his current American Heart Tour due to illness ahead of his three upcoming London shows.
About an hour before the show, the US singer issued a statement on social media saying he was not able to perform as he was battling a sore throat.
In a post on his Instagram stories which has since expired, the singer wrote: “I am so sorry but I will not be able to perform tonight.
“I have tried everything I can to revive my voice, but I cannot give you the show I’d like to be able to give you with the condition of my throat right now.
“This is genuinely the crappiest feeling, I am so sorry. I promise you I will do everything in my power to make it up to you. I’ll update you guys as soon as I can. Thank you for everything you do. I love you guys so much.”
Celebrating his sophomore studio record, American Heart, which was released this summer, Boone hit the road for his world tour in August.
The Europe leg of the tour started last week as he performed shows in Dublin, Glasgow and Manchester.
Boone is set to perform three shows in the capital this week at the iconic O2 Arena in North Greenwich starting tonight (November 3).
Are Benson Boone’s O2 Arena shows still going ahead?
All three of Benson Boone’s London O2 Arena shows have not been cancelled at this time and are currently still set to go ahead as planned.
Neither the O2 Arena nor the singer himself have issued a statement saying otherwise.
Boone is scheduled to kick off his London shows this evening, followed by two more shows on Tuesday (November 4) and Wednesday (November 5).
