The “big” sewer blockade caused by “fats, fats and cloths” forced the cancellation of Bryan Adams concert in Australia on public health courts.
Grammy award -winning artist was supposed to perform at the Rac Arena in Perth on Sunday, but the city water corporation said that the blocked main risked to support the toilets.
Adams apologized to fans on social networks – many of which were just lined up for hours to be rejected – and thanked them for their “patience and support” before promising to try to delay the show.
But the promoter of the concerts said that although the cancellation was “bitterly disappointing”, this could only provide tickets to the full refund.
“Although any efforts were made to continue the show, this question was beyond the control of Bryan Adams, the Frontier Touring -A Rac Arena,” she wrote in a statement.
Perth’s Water Corporation said Fatberg was responsible for the disorder “already caused several wastewater overflows” on the main road near the town and urged the public to avoid direct contact with “combined water” in the area.
“We apologize for the inconvenience that caused this and we will provide further updates as needed,” the Facebook post states, advising the cancellation.
Adams – which is known for its iconic hits such as summer ’69. And please forgive me – he made his Australian debut in 1984 and has since remained a beloved performer throughout the country.
“I’m really sorry we couldn’t happen tonight – I was so much looking forward to seeing you all,” he posted on social media on Sunday.
The Canadian rock star is still to be played in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne later this week.
They are located in sewer around the world, fatbergs arise when fat, oil and fat are solidified and tied to objects such as cloths or moist wipes.
