GOT7’s BamBam Apologizes For His Tour Cancellation
GOT7‘s BamBam has shared a personal message to his fans regarding the cancellation of his tour.
Until now, GOT7’s BamBam has been preparing to embark on his first solo U.S. tour, BamBam THE 1ST WORLD TOUR [AREA 52] in U.S.].
Unfortunately, BamBam has suffered a severe ankle injury. So, his label, ABYSS COMPANY, made a heartbreaking announcement via BamBam’s company-run social media accounts.
[Cancellation Notice for BamBam THE 1ST WORLD TOUR [AREA 52] in U.S.]
Hello, this is ABYSS COMPANY.
We regret to inform you that the BamBam THE 1ST WORLD TOUR [AREA 52] in U.S., scheduled from February 10th to February 24th, 2024, is inevitably canceled due to the worsening of the artist’s ankle injury.
— ABYSS COMPANY
ABYSS COMPANY explained that BamBam has continually worked hard to prepare for the U.S. leg of his tour, and in the process, his condition only worsened as he practiced his new song. Consequently, the upcoming tour had to be canceled out of consideration for BamBam’s health.
We were excited about the upcoming U.S. tour and had been preparing a new song to be performed in the U.S. for the first time. However, the artist’s ankle worsened while practicing for the new song. After numerous discussions, we have come to the difficult decision to cancel the U.S. tour, as continuing with the original schedule was deemed inappropriate for the well-being of the artist. We extend our deepest gratitude to all fans who showed great interest in the show and sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused by the cancellation of this highly anticipated tour.
We will prioritize the artist’s health and wellness to ensure a smooth return to reconnect with the fans through the rest of the tour schedule.
— ABYSS COMPANY
The company has reassured fans that their ticket purchases will be refunded and that the promoter will update them with more information.
The show tickets and VIP Package will be fully refunded, and detailed information will be announced by the U.S. promoter, Knowmerce, on their official social media channel (@fromm_store).
Once again, we express our heartfelt apologies to all the fans who waited for the U.S. tour and request for your understanding regarding the unfortunate news.
Thank you.
