Madonna cancels gig

POP star Madonna has cancelled her concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia, scheduled for August 20, the tour manager said.

Local media cited poor ticket sales as the main factor, although promoters denied this was the reason.

It is the second concert Madonna has cancelled since July. A performance in the southern French town of Marseille was scrapped after the stage being built for it collapsed, killing two workers. “The reason for the cancellation is unforeseen logistical difficulties,” said tour manager Laszlo Borsos.
