Too Late To Apologise: Timbaland Cancels Australian Tour

Planning on getting along to an arena show to see Mr Mose on the beats and watch up-and-comer Keri Hilson in support? Tough titties if so: rapper and R&B producer extraordinaire Timbaland has cancelled his Australian tour (after already delaying it), with no explanation. The first of his dates was due to start this Friday in Sydney (i.e. TOMORROW) but R&B fans will be wandering around the city in a disappointed daze, sadly clutching their tickets and asking strangers if they have any hot beats to spare. Here’s the statement from Ticketek’s website, in full:

The Timbaland event will not be proceeding.

Showtime Touring Group & Timbaland apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Now that’s what I call good customer relations! So, in the scheme of tour cancellings, if “sickness” is usually a euphemism for “CBF“, how do we interpret a straight up cancel without explanation?
