Scheduled to launch their residency at Planet Hollywood in February, the Black Eyed Peas just announced via social media that due to “current circumstances,” they are cancelling their Sin City plans.
Taking to this Instagram Stories account, The Black Eyed Peas – consisting of Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap and Taboo – wrote:
“To our dearest Peabodies, It is with a heavy heart that, in light of current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not be moving forward as planned.” “Ticket providers will issue full refunds automatically. Stay tuned for updates on future performances by following us – we can’t wait to see you again.”
In September of last year, the top charting trio announced their residency, with the now 49-year old Will.i.am promising fans that they would push the boundaries of “the live show experience”. “Our first residency in Las Vegas gives Black Eyed Peas the opportunity to do what we do best, to dream up something brand new and creative that pushes the boundaries of the live show experience.” “We draw inspiration from Disney rides, Las Vegas shows, concerts, AI and technology. We will reinvent how we perform, creating an interactive show, a journey to 3008 that is both a concert and play. I can’t wait for the world to see what we cook up in Las Vegas.”
Originally scheduled to play fifteen shows at the venue between February and May, the group did not elaborate on the specific reasons behind the cancellation.
