CNN —
The Black Eyed Peas have hit pause on their Las Vegas residency. The group announced this news on social media, letting fans know that their shows at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino are postponed.
They shared a heartfelt message on Instagram saying, “To our dearest Peabodies, it is with a heavy heart that, in light of current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not be moving forward as planned. Ticket providers will issue full refunds automatically. Stay tuned for updates on future performances by following us — we can’t wait to see you again.”
The trio, consisting of will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, and Taboo, were set to perform from mid-February through May. They had announced their residency, titled “The 3008 Space Odyssey,” in September with a cool, futuristic video.
Will.i.am previously expressed excitement about the residency, stating, “Our first residency in Las Vegas gives Black Eyed Peas the opportunity to do what we do best, to dream up something brand new and creative that pushes the boundaries of the live show experience.”
If the residency had gone ahead, the Black Eyed Peas would have joined other big-name artists like Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Shania Twain, who also perform in Las Vegas this year.
As the group pauses their plans, fans await more updates on future performances.
