Fans who had eagerly anticipated Anita Baker’s performance at the State Farm Arena tonight for Mother’s Day weekend were left disappointed, others angry, as the singer cancelled her show.
The show cancellation came just moments before it was scheduled to begin on Saturday night.
According to a report by @ajcnews, the venue announced the cancellation via email, citing “late, unforeseen circumstances” as the reason for calling off the event.
The email stated:
“Due to late, unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s ‘An Evening with Anita Baker’ event featuring eight-time Grammy Award-winning superstar Anita Baker set to take place at State Farm Arena has been cancelled. Refunds will be returned at point of purchase.”
A disappointed fan made a video expressing her discontent with the show’s cancellation:
“Look at us. We are all out here ready. Ready and y’all gonna cancel at the last minute. I’m pissed, pissed, Anita!”
In the comments section of a post on the incident by @theneighborhoodtalk, some fans commented that they were not surprised at all about the sudden cancellation:
“Y’all ain’t learned yet? Auntie don’t care,” someone commented.
Someone else made a similar comment:
“When will y’all learn that Anita Baker and Lauryn Hill dgaf about y’all?! Please stop spending money on them..”
Another one said:
“They bouta eat her up 🤦🏾♂️ ruining Mother’s Day plans is diabolical.”
@bruthamarc wants the legendary singer to address the issue publicly:
“She betta ‘Apologize'”.
The show was supposed to commence at 7:00 PM, but the announcement of its cancellation came at 6:45 PM, leaving concert-goers disappointed and puzzled.
As of now, no further details have been provided regarding the reasons behind the sudden cancellation. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
