Gig stopped over fears for safety of gays

A UK concert by a Jamaican dancehall star was cancelled after complaints it might provoke violence towards gay men.

Police spoke to Beenie Man after a complaint that some of his songs contain "lyrics that are an incitement to homophobic murder and violence".

The performer, real name Anthony Davis, was due to appear at the Ocean club in Hackney, east London last night.

The club said it was cancelled due to "concerns for public safety" and after talks with Scotland Yard officers.
