Ghanaian dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has postponed his ‘Stonebwoy Live in New York’ concert which was slated for Friday, March 13, 2020.
This comes after New York officials placed an indefinite ban on gatherings of more than 500 people as measures to curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus.
The restrictions announced by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Thursday came as the number of infections in the state tripled since Sunday, with dozens of new cases in New York City, where millions of residents typically rub shoulders with millions of visitors drawn by its sparkling cultural scene, The New York Times reports.
In a statement released by Stonebwoy’s management on Friday morning, the team said it “tried everything in our ability to make this show happen, however, the government has restricted every large gathering at this time as seen on every major news.”
The statement went to add that, the show had been postponed indefinitely and “the new tour dates will be announced as soon as the ban is lifted.”
“We share in your disappointment surrounding this news. As always, thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support for Stonebwoy,” it further stated.
