Lany’s sold-out concert in Cebu has been cancelled due to safety concerns involving the venue’s roofing.

The announcement came after the band and Live Nation Philippines initially announced the postponement, citing significant safety issues discovered after soundcheck.

In a follow-up statement, Live Nation Philippines confirmed that the concert would no longer push through due to the venue's roofing concerns.

The promoter also announced that all tickets purchased for the show would be refunded.

Meanwhile, Lany took to social media to apologize to fans, saying, “Your safety is our #1 priority, we are so sorry.”

Paul Jason Klein also shared his disappointment over the cancellation, revealing that the news reached him while he was on his way to the venue.

“I was in the elevator of my hotel heading down to get in the car and go to the venue to play our show when I received the news about 4-foot steel debris falling from the roof of the venue,” he said.

Paul expressed concern for concertgoers, saying he would not want anyone to get seriously injured at one of the band's shows.

“I love Cebu, I love the Philippines, and I love and deeply appreciate every single one of our fans,” he said. “We will always be coming back and I hope to see every single one of you next time. Mahal kita forever.”
