Def Leppard concerts cancelled

Oct 13, 2008 Music

Well, this one was a real bummer. Some of us were planning to attend the Def Leppard concert at Mumbai next weekend, on October 19.

However, all those plans went down the tube as the group have cancelled their concerts at Bangalore and Mumbai in view of the prevailing scenario in India. (ie. our bomb per weekend schedule). The organisers of the show felt the situation was pretty unsafe, given the massive crowd that would have gathered at these concerts.

A statement on the Def Leppard website said, ”We are sorry to report that due to unforeseen circumstances, the two shows in India (scheduled to take place on October 17 and 19 in Bangalore and Mumbai, resp.) have been cancelled. We apologize to our Indian fans and we hope to be able to make up for it in the future.”

The Indian gig was to be the second leg of the world tour to promote their latest album, ’Songs from the Sparkle Lounge’.

Let’s hope we can see them here in 2009 !
