“You guys, I’m heartbroken, I have to cancel the show tonight,” Justin penned in a statement that shared the reason why he wouldn’t be taking to the stage.
The 44-year-old hitmaker then said: “I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it’s gotten the best of me.
“It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen.
“I want to reassure you, you’ll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all.”

Someone replied to the video with their own first hand experience, saying: “Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke.
‘UNACCEPTABLE’
“Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this.”
Elsewhere online, person addressed the cancelation in a seething message: “Canceling [because] of being sick is 100% understandable.. Canceling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable.”
A second person echoed: “The show was canceled at 7:30 and the show was supposed to start at 8:00, I’m sorry if you have the flu you would’ve know before 1/2hour before the show starts.
“There were little kids standing in line that was devastated that you canceled.
“Shame on you.”
