31-7-203 (KUALA LUMPUR) The highly anticipated concerts of American singer-songwriter Lauv, originally scheduled for the 6th and 7th of September in Malaysia, have been abruptly canceled by the organizers, leaving fans shocked and seeking answers for the sudden decision. The announcement was made through an official statement by the concert’s organizers, Live Nation, who cited unforeseen circumstances as the reason for the cancellation. Ticket refunds will be handled through their ticketing partner, GoLive Asia.
Lauv, known for his chart-topping hits such as “I Like Me Better” and “Paris in the Rain,” and his collaboration with the K-pop group BTS on the song “Make It Right,” had planned to hold his “Lauv: The Between Albums Tour” at the Plenary Hall of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. However, the cancellation news has left many Malaysian fans discontented, prompting them to voice their frustrations and demand clarity on the reasons behind the sudden change.
Speculations arose as Lauv had recently come out as bisexual on TikTok during the month of June, which coincides with Pride Month. In the video, he candidly admitted to being attracted to both men and women, embracing his identity openly. While some fans expressed support for his decision, others wondered if his public declaration of bisexuality might have played a role in the concert’s cancellation, given the sensitivity of certain issues in Malaysia, particularly after controversies surrounding international acts like The 1975 and their approval for performances in the country.
Despite the disappointment among fans, the exact cause of the concert’s cancellation remains undisclosed by the organizers. For now, the Malaysian audience awaits further updates on the matter, as discussions around artists’ public disclosures and the impact on their performances continue to shape the music industry’s scrutiny and policies.
