In a statement released on the festival’s social media pages, Jackman apologized for having to back out from the concert, saying: “Due to an unforeseen conflict in my schedule, I am deeply disappointed to announce I will be unable to perform in Hyde Park this July 6th. This was a stage I truly was looking forward to being on. No less in a city that I love so much. Thank you to all people who’ve purchased tickets. For ticket refunds, please go to the link in my bio for more information. London, I will see you soon”

As soon as the news broke, the public begun speculating whether the cancellation was due to poor ticket sales in correlation with Jackman’s slot at the iconic Hyde Park stage.  Various people begun leaving comment’s under the Festival’s instagram post, noting that Jackman was heavily advertised in the past weeks as a headliner but perhaps the publicity still failed to ensure a sold out night. 

Other performers for the upcoming series of BST Hyde Park concerts are Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Jeff Lynne’s ELO.

Carpenter recently released the deluxe version of her chart topping album ‘Short n Sweet’, which has been a staple on Official Charts’s Top Ten Albums since its release in mid August of last year. The deluxe, released last Friday to celebrate Valentine’s Day, might earn the record its third non consecutive week at number one on this week’s charts. 

But the two nights at BST Hyde Park won’t be the only time the ‘Espresso’ singer is in London this year. She in fact is about to embark on her sold out UK tour which will take her to London’s O2 Arena this march, in addition to also performing at the BRITs.

Tickets for Sabrina’s second night (Sunday, July 6) will go on general sale on Monday, February 24 at 10am GMT.
