Jason Newsted, who was slated to perform at the Singapore Rock Festival on Mar. 6, has cancelled his appearance.
The former Metallica bassist posted on his Facebook page early on Feb. 19, “The NEWSTED Band will not be appearing or performing live in February or March 2014″, triggering a flurry of angry comments, especially from fans who’d been looking forward to the Soundwave Festival in Australia happening three days from now.
Singapore concert organiser LAMC Productions confirmed this on their Facebook page about an hour ago, saying, “We have been informed Jason Newsted will not be appearing or performing on all scheduled February and March dates which includes Australia’s Soundwave Festival and Singapore on March 6th at #SGRockFest”.
