Public Enemy have cancelled their London Astoria date next month due to fears that a terrorist attack similar to that in Bali might hit the capital. Such are the fears of growing terrorism around the world that the band have cancelled all international touring. PE’s Professor Griff told NME: "Our main concern is the security of our fans, and with G-DUB's ever present 'war on terrorism' looming, Public Enemy might be seen as agitators in the whole scheme of things. We have decided to postpone our touring abroad for right now. Hopefully in the near future we will be able to resume our tour and continue to 'give the peeps what they need'".
