Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter John Legend has cancelled his concert in Zimbabwe, which was scheduled to take place on November 19th.
The announcement was made on the star’s official website. No reason was given for the change, but other November shows in Spain, Portugal and Italy, followed by dates in South Africa, which would have book-ended the Zimbabwe show, are to go ahead.
The box office for the Zimbabwe date, which was located at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC), opened in June with most tickets selling out before mid-July. The show’s promoters announced that they were pleased with the early response from fans with the online reservations proving a huge success.
At the time the concert was announced, Legend posted the following on his Facebook page: “Hey Zimbabwe! I am excited to announce the addition of a show on November 19 in Harare at the Rainbow Towers Hotel and Conference Centre.”
