boysboysboys 278 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The Haus probably saw how badly the police were handling the protests (they were doing NOTHING), so they deduced that the concert security would be handled badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techydude 53 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Its true: JAKARTA (May 27, 2012): Pop diva Lady Gaga's show in the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation has been cancelled, her promoters said Sunday after Islamic hardliners threatened "chaos" if she entered the country. "Lady Gaga's management has considered the situation minute to minute, and with threats if the concert goes ahead, Lady Gaga's side is calling off the concert," Minola Sebayang, lawyer for promoters Big Daddy, told reporters. – AFP Well, it's official now: http://www.thejakart...ends-badly.html A part of me wishes she'd pushed through instead. Yep! For everyone to read: US controversial singer Lady Gaga is having a bad romance with her fans in Indonesia, dubbed as "Little Monsters", with her scheduled concert in Jakarta is officially cancelled by her management amid strong reactions from Indonesia's hard-liner groups. Local promoter Big Daddy Entertainment's executive Michael Rusli told reporters in Jakarta on Sunday that Gaga's management had called him in the morning to cancel her performance in the capital. "We have already received a call from Gaga's management that the singer had called off her concert in the capital," said Michael. Previously, the Grammy-award winning singer was scheduled to perform before her 52,000 fans who already bought tickets at the Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on June 3. According to Michael, the 26-year-old singer's management decided to cancel the planned concert after having "security concerns". "We will refund the tickets that have already been bought. We will announce the procedure on Wednesday," he added. A total of 52,000 tickets have already been sold out since the opening tickets sales on March 10. Big Daddy's lawyer, Minola Sebayang, said the promoter was still trying to complete all necessary documents in order for the police to issue a concert permit. However, he added, Gaga's management had decided to not take any risk of the singer, her crew members, let alone the ticket buyers, for "suffering any harm". "Gaga's camp did not want this show to cause any harm to anybody," said Minola. Gaga, known for her over-the-top live performance and eccentric fashion sense, has been receiving backlash from hard-liner groups in Indonesia. http://www.thejakart...ends-badly.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth 450 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm glad it's cancelled because I wouldn't have wanted Gaga's or anyone elses safety to be compromised for the sake of a show. I just feel sorry for the fans who had tickets, although I'm sure they'll be able to understand why she's cancelled it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
