Liza Minnelli cancels UK shows
Iconic entertainer Liza Minnelli has called off two imminent UK shows.
The Cabaret star, 69, was also due to perform at the London Palladium on 20 September and Sheffield on 22 September.
According to BBC News, the shows were cancelled over a financial dispute with promoter Rocco Buonvino. Other reports have suggested that around half of the tickets remained unsold.
Minnelli, who is the daughter of Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland, was due to be interviewed on stage by fellow veteran star Sir Bruce Forsyth.
A representative for Minnelli said the shows ‘have unfortunately been cancelled because of the promoter’s failure to pay. Due to current economics and unusually high ticket prices, the producer was unable to secure the promised funds.’
The added: ‘For months Liza has been preparing for these shows and she was devastated to hear of this unfortunate news. She has always thought of London a second home and will miss seeing her friends and devoted fans.’
