Nigerian artist, Davido has cancelled his Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) live in concert which is supposed to hold on Monday, December 28, 2020
The concert titled, ‘Davido Presents DMW live in concert’ scheduled to hold at the Eko Hotels & Suites on December 28, 2020 was cancelled on Wednesday.
Davido took to his Instagram page to announce this, stating the rise in Covid-19 cases as the reason for the cancellation.
According to the artist, he is not ready to endanger the health of his fans, staff and other artists coming to perform at the concert, hence, the reason he is canceling the concert.
On his post on Instagram, he said canceling his concert was a hard decision but it has to be done as there is a second wave of the virus, most especially in Lagos.
The post read:
“Following increased and overwhelming concerns with the rise of Covid-19 cases in Lagos, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming ‘Davido Presents DMW Live In Concert’ scheduled to take place on Dec 28th.
“The health and well-being of our fans, employees, and artists is of paramount importance so whilst we are disappointed, we know it is the right thing to do.
“Thank you to everyone that purchased tables. Your support brought us way closer to sold out status than we expected in a very uncertain time! We look forward to bringing you a DMW live in concert in the very near future.
“In the meantime, stay safe, sanitized and socially distanced. Thank you for your understanding and Merry Christmas in advance!”
Recall that Davido had announced the live in concert on his Instagram page on Saturday, December 12, 2020.
