'Grease and rags' sewer fatberg blockage ends Bryan Adams concert

10 Feb 2025 The performance in Perth, Australia was postponed due to the blockage of a major sewer. A "large" sewer blockage caused by "fat, grease and rags" has forced the cancellation of a Bryan Adams concert in Australia on public health grounds. The Grammy Award winning artist was due to perform at the RAC Arena in Perth on Sunday, but the city's water corporation said a blocked main risked backing up the venue's toilets. Adams apologised to fans on social media - many of whom had lined up for hours only to be turned away - and thanked them for their "patience and support" before promising to try to reschedule the show. The concert promoter said the cancellation was "bitterly disappointing" and would provide ticketholders with a full refund.
