Robbie Williams cancels SE Asia leg of Let Me Entertain You Tour

SINGAPORE — Robbie Williams has cancelled the South-east Asia leg of the Let Me Entertain You Tour, including dates in Singapore, Malaysia and Bangkok "due to issues outside of the artist's control", organisers said in a statement on Monday (July 13).

Williams was due to play at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Oct 4. Organisers said there will be a full refund for tickets purchased. 

The statement added: "ie:music, Robbie Williams and Midas Promotions Ltd. wish to apologise for the inconvenience and obvious disappointment that this will cause."

Refunds will commence from July 16 to Aug 14. Credit card purchases will be automatically credited to the same card without the need to return the ticket, whereas Cash or NETS ticket purchases will require customers to present their NRIC /Passport / FIN at the Singapore Indoor Stadium box office for a cash refund.

Refund hours are from 10am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday, and 12pm to 8pm on Sundays and public holidays. 

The Australian leg of the 2015 Tour is unaffected and will proceed as planned, the statement said. Other cancelled shows in Asia include Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.

Williams was set to return to Singapore just over a year after his headlining concert at the 2014 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix.

Starting off as a member of British boyband Take That in the 1990s, Williams went on to carve a hugely successful solo music career after he left. He has since sold over 70 million albums worldwide and won a record 17 BRIT awards. Known for his hit songs such as Angels, Rock DJ and Feel, he also released a surprise, online-only album last year titled Under the Radar Volume 1.
