DUBAI: US rock band the Foo Fighters cancelled their Saturday night gig at the Yasalam After-Race Concert series at the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“Due to unforeseen medical circumstances, The Foo Fighters will not be performing at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Yasalam After-Race Concert on Sunday, December 12,” the Yas Marina Circuit tweeted Saturday.

“The band apologizes for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by this unexpected turn of events,” the statement added.

British grime music artist Stormzy and US singer Khalid have delighted fans in Abu Dhabi for a weekend of stellar music performances so far.

Five-time Grammy-nominated artist Khalid made his UAE debut at the Yasalam After-Race Concert series on Thursday, performing his hits “American Teen” and “Saved.”

Stormzy, the first British rapper to perform a headlining slot at Britain’s Glastonbury festival in 2019, hit the stage on Friday with his acclaimed hits “Big For Your Boots” and “Vossi Bop.”

Scottish star Lewis Capaldi will perform on Saturday night.
