International superstar Dua Lipa was forced to cancel a tour date slated for Indonesia following “unforeseen safety and logistical issues” with the stage were found, according to the organizers of the show.
The singer, 29, says that she “heartbroken” over not being able to perform at the show which was scheduled to take place at the Indonesia Arena in Jakarta on Saturday evening, posting the following message on her official X page:
“I am here in your amazing country and ready to perform, but I am gutted to share that it has been determined that it is not safe for the performance to carry on due to safety issues with the staging,” she wrote.
