The performance in Perth, Australia was postponed due to the blockage of a major sewer.

A “large” sewer blockage caused by “fat, grease and rags” has forced the cancellation of a Bryan Adams concert in Australia on public health grounds.

The Grammy Award winning artist was due to perform at the RAC Arena in Perth on Sunday, but the city’s water corporation said a blocked main risked backing up the venue’s toilets.

Adams apologised to fans on social media -

Perth’s water corporation said the fatberg responsible for the disruption had already “caused several wastewater overflows” on the main road near the venue and urged the public to avoid direct contact with “pooled water” in the area.

“We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and will provide further updates as required,” it said in a post on Facebook, advising of the cancellation.
