Maroon 5 Postpones The Daegu Leg Of Its 'V' Album World Tour Due To Adam Levine’s ‘Neck Muscle Issues’
Fans who bought tickets to Maroon 5's Daegu concert would have to wait until Thursday to see the American band perform. The show, a part of their world tour for the album "V," was initially scheduled last Saturday but was postponed a few hours before it was slated to take place. According to a local concert organizer, Live Nation Korea, the delay was due to Adam Levine's health problems.
"The artists and staff tried very hard to prepare for [the concert this past Saturday] until the day before on Friday, but it seemed problematic to proceed with the show given vocalist Adam Levine's neck muscle issues," the organizer said in a statement.
The group's vocalist also shared a photo of him wearing a neck brace on his Instagram account. Levine captioned: "Hey guys. sorry we had to reschedule... I posted this photo of sad neck brace Adam purely for your sympathy."
The post resulted to a rumor that Levine had a car accident in Korea, as noted in an article published by The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday.
Maroon 5 supposedly only had one concert in Daegu and Seoul respectively. However, the band added one more show in the capital city, as per Korean fans' request. Tickets for the first two shows got sold out in just five minutes after the online sales opened.
The first show in Seoul pushed through yesterday and there will be other shows on September 9 and 10. Organizers also added that the tickets for the Saturday concert will be refunded.
"We are very sorry to postpone tonight's show in Daegu until THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER. All tickets will be honored," Maroon 5 announced on Twitter.
AceShowbiz reported yesterday that these concerts are part of their world tour to promote the fifth album "V", which has 14 tracks including the soundtrack of Hollywood film 'Begin Again,' where Levine also starred.
