Dhruv apologises to Malaysian fans, unable to perform at Good Vibes
London-based pop and R&B singer Dhruv was scheduled to perform in Malaysia tonight
Dhruv found fame when his 2019 debut single, double take, became a viral hit. The smooth R&B song went to No. 1 in the Philippines and Thailand, and was among the top five on streaming charts in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
He was scheduled to perform at the festival at 8pm alongside popular international artistes such as The Kid Laroi, Alyph and Leehi
Dhruv, through his Instagram account, said the reason behind him cancelling his performance here was completely outside of his control.
"We have been inside the Kuala Lumpur International Airport for the last 14 hours, hoping for a better outcome. Unfortunately, I'm unable to enter the country.
"I am so sorry to anyone who got a ticket to see me play. I'm devastated, but I will make it my No. 1 priority to come back here," he said.
Last night, the frontman of British band The 1975, Matt Healy, delivered a speech, that went viral, while performing the last set at the Good Vibes Festival.
The band's performance was cut short due to non-compliance with local performance guidelines after Healy made a profanity-laden speech directed at the government.
Healy was seen on stage with a bottle of wine, lighting a cigarette and was reportedly spitting on stage all the while saying he had no mood to perform.
He then left the crowd stunned and dumbfounded when he said the band had been "banned from performing in Kuala Lumpur" before leaving the stage.
