A highly anticipated event featuring pop diva Katy Perry has been canceled due to “technical reasons,” organizers said in a statement on Tuesday, but a source said the festival was a fraud.
Promotion company Berlian Entertainment said last month that the singer as well as Big Bang and Brown Eyed Girls of South Korea would light up the Jakarta International Teen Music Festival on Saturday. But according to event organizer Image Dynamics, the promoter had scrapped the show.
Sources at the promoter’s office said they had been duped by a man who claimed to be able to deliver the US pop star.
“This man is pretty convincing because he said he would take care of everything. We found out later that the whole event [was] in his imagination.”
The source said the company would not press charges, but added that the man had once been jailed for spreading a terror hoax.
Elmo to reunite with Katy
Last year things got extra hot when Katy Perry sang with Elmo on Sesame Street. Parents went nuts at her revealing outfit. The footage never aired on the show, but ended up being a major smash on Youtube.
After a screening of Being Elmo at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, NC, Elmo and his pal Kevin Clash revealed that Katy Perry will return to the show for a second try.
No news on when this event shall take place, but it seems Elmo was hinting to the song choice.
I don't like Peacock, but I hope It will be her next single, beucause the video would be so hilarious. I personally think It would be hit (in USA at least).
