Where is the love? The Black Eyed Peas will not be performing in Las Vegas next month.
The group has canceled their 15-show residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's PH Live which was scheduled to launch on February 15. What's the reason? “Current circumstances.”
“To our dear Peabodies,” the trio will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo wrote on Instagram on Sunday. “It is with a heavy heart that, under the current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not go ahead as planned. Ticket providers will automatically issue full refunds. Stay tuned for updates on future shows by following us – we can’t wait to see you again.”
Called Black Eyed Peas: 3008 The Las Vegas Experience, the residency at the 7,000-seat hall was scheduled to play in three sections of five shows through May: February 15-16, 19 and 21-22; March 21-22, 26 and 28-29 and May 24-25, 28 and 30-31.
“Our first residency in Las Vegas gives the Black Eyed Peas the opportunity to do what we do best, dream up something new and creative that pushes the boundaries of the live show experience,” Will.i.am said in a statement. The offers were announced in September.
The group has six Grammy Awards, has sold over 31 million records in the United States alone and is the second best-selling group of all time in terms of downloaded songs. It has 10 US top 10 hits, including three chart-topping hits with “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” – which combined to give the group a record 26 consecutive weeks at number one in 2009 – and “Imma Be” the following year. She also achieved three consecutive multi-platinum albums in the 2000s.
