Lupe Fiasco gig cancelled

Lupe Fiasco's London show at the Scala has been cancelled at police request after a fatal shooting outside the venue, and moved to Islington Academy on 9 October.

A Lupe Fiasco gig due to take place at London's Scala venue last night was cancelled at the request of London police who are still investigating a shooting that took place outside the club over the weekend. One Daniel Ross was killed during the shooting incident outside the venue on Saturday night, while Garage Fever's Old Skool Fever club was taking place. Police investigating the killing have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Meanwhile promoters of the US rapper's London show confirmed police had refused permission for their gig to go ahead, telling reporters: "Due to an unrelated incident which took place on Saturday at The Scala, we regret to inform you that Lupe Fiasco's gig has been cancelled this evening". The gig will now take place on 9 Oct at the Carling Islington Academy.
