US singer Keyshia Cole’s South African tour has been called off due to the ongoing wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles, California, organisers said in a statement.

Cole, who was born in California, was set to perform in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town later this month. 

Organisers said more details will be shared about the decision and way forward.

“Due to the recent devastating fires in Los Angeles, Keyshia Cole’s highly anticipated South African tour, set to take place later this month, will not go ahead as initially planned,” organisers said in a statement.

“The artist has been directly affected by the ongoing tragedy, including the loss of her home, and as a result, she is unable to proceed with her scheduled performance,” the statement continued.

“Together with her team, we have been working tirelessly to assess the situation, and in light of these unexpected and heartbreaking events, the difficult decision was made to call off the tour.

“The decision regarding a way forward will be finalised as soon as possible, and further details will be shared with fans by the end of next week,” it said.

“The well-being of the artist and her family are of the utmost importance during this difficult time.”

Regarding tickets, the statement said: “Current ticket holders will be notified via email with instructions on how to proceed by the end of next week. All other further announcements will be made through official media channels.”
