The Hollywood Vampires have decided to pull the plug on another of their scheduled gig in Slovakia, just a few days after canceling a concert in Budapest.
- July 22, 2023
AceShowbiz - Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper's band, The Hollywood Vampires, have axed a second consecutive show - blaming an "unsafe" venue. The supergroup - also made up of Aerosmith's Joe Perry, and Tommy Henriksen - scrapped their Budapest concert at the last minute on Tuesday, July 18, and they were then forced to cancel their show in Slovakia on Thursday, July 20, claiming the construction of the venue, Olympic Fields in Zvolenska Slatina, was "incomplete."
"Upon arrival today to the venue in Slovakia to begin set up for tonight's performance, it quickly became clear that the construction of the facility was incomplete, and therefore unsafe for both the band and the general public," they wrote in a statement shared on Instagram.
"The band is very upset by this recent and unfortunate turn of events, and hope to return when schedules permit. This cancellation is unrelated to the recent cancellation in Budapest, but we can assure you all bandmembers are safe and healthy. We look forward to seeing you in Poland, Germany and the US in the coming days. Sincere apologies, The Hollywood Vampires"
It comes as The Hollywood Vampires were due to perform at the Papp Laszlo Budapest Sportarena in Budapest on Tuesday, but they had to pull out due to "unforeseen circumstances."
A statement shared on the band's official social media pages and re-shared by the "Edwards Scissorhands" actor read, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Vampires will be canceling tonight's show in Budapest. All tickets (general and VIP, including meet and greet) will be refunded in full. We love and appreciate all of the fans who traveled from near and far to see us rise, and we're truly sorry. Sincere apologies, The Hollywood Vampires (sic)."
