Even Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne‘s mixed star energy is not sufficient to outshine Mom Nature — who simply pressured Lovers & Buddies Pageant organizers to tug the plug … on the final minute!
The surprising announcement got here late Friday evening, lower than 24 hours earlier than the all-day, outside pageant was supposed to start on the Las Vegas Pageant Grounds. Occasion organizers mentioned they had been anticipating a windy day and ready for it, however then the Nationwide Climate Service issued a Excessive Wind Warning.
With the expectation of 30-35 mph sustained winds and wind gusts over 60 mph … they determined to cancel the highly-anticipated live performance, calling it the “most secure choice for our followers, artists and workers.”
The pageant was going to function all of the aforementioned superstars plus Backstreet Boys, Fats Joe, Gwen Stefani, Nas, Ludacris, Nelly, Rick Ross, Robin Thicke, TLC, T-Ache, Timbaland and lots of extra.
The Eleventh-hour cancelation means … not solely are a lot of the artists already in Vegas, however 1000’s of followers — plus, many extra who had been already at airports on Friday evening and Saturday morning about to board flights when the information got here down.
The dangerous information for all concerned is it is gonna be a bitch — if not flat-out unattainable — to reschedule, and preserve all the identical artists on the invoice. For now, they don’t seem to be even speaking about rescheduling, however all ticketholders are imagined to get a full refund inside 30 days.
That is their ticket worth, however plenty of followers might be screwed on their airfare and lodge prices.
The place is the love? Not in Sin Metropolis, mates!
