Robbie Williams has announced one of his upcoming shows in Turkey has been cancelled by public officials.
The singer, 51, has been due to perform at Istanbul’s Atakoy Marina on Tuesday, October 7.
However, he’s now revealed the last show of his Britpop tour won’t be going ahead.
Posting a statement on Instagram, he began by apologising to fans.
‘I’m extremely sorry that I will not be able to perform in Istanbul next week.
‘City authorities have cancelled the show, in the interests of public safety.
‘The last thing I would ever want to do is to jeopardise the safety of my fans – their safety and security come first.’
He went on: ‘We were very excited to be playing Istanbul for the first time and purposely chose the city as the final show of the BRITPOP tour.
‘To end this epic run of dates in front of my Turkish fans was my dream, given the close connections my family have with this wonderful country.
‘To everyone in Istanbul who wanted to join the 1.2 million people who have shared this phenomenal tour this year with us, I am deeply sorry. We were so looking forward to this show but the decision to cancel it was beyond our control.’
