In light of her her Wednesday show cancellation due to severe flooding, Halsey has criticized bosses at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

Responding to the cancellation, Halsey tweeted: “Maryland I don’t even know what to say. If you missed my live, I’ll post something soon explaining what happened. But right now I’m heartbroken and panicked and I just want to know when/that you all get home safely. I love you guys more than anything,” adding that she wanted to play “more than anything” but going ahead would have been “SO unsafe”.
Slamming those running the Post Pavilion, the musician (born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane) added: “I really want to add that I am beyond disappointed with the way the venue handled everything tonight and my rescheduled date will be happening somewhere else. I hear you guys loud and clear I promise.”
A new date has yet to be announced.
