**A fatberg of grease and rags leads to cancellation of Perth performance, causing fan disappointment**
In an unexpected upheaval, a Bryan Adams concert scheduled for Sunday at the RAC Arena in Perth was canceled due to a substantial sewer blockage caused by a mix of grease, fat, and rags. The local water corporation announced that the blocked sewer posed a threat of toilet backups in the venue, warranting the cancellation for public health safety.
Adams, known for his chart-topping hits like "Summer of '69" and "Please Forgive Me," expressed his apologies to fans on social media, many of whom had eagerly awaited entry, only to be turned away. He thanked them for their understanding and support, hinting at hopes to reschedule the event.
The event's promoter characterized the disruption as "bitterly disappointing" and affirmed that ticketholders would receive full refunds. “Every effort was made for the show to proceed, but this issue was beyond the control of Bryan Adams, Frontier Touring, and the RAC Arena,” the promoter stated in a release.
The source of the problem, termed a "fatberg," had previously caused wastewater spills near the concert venue, leading local authorities to advise the public to steer clear of any standing water in the vicinity. Perth's water corporation expressed regret over the incident and promised to provide updates as needed.
Fatbergs, notorious for their troublesome formation within urban sewage systems, occur when grease and fats solidify and mix with non-biodegradable items like rags and wet wipes. Previous incidents have seen colossal fatbergs, comparable to the weight of multiple double-decker buses, removed from systems worldwide, including those in London, New York, and Valencia.
The beloved Canadian rock star is still slated to perform later this week in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, leaving fans hopeful for upcoming shows despite the unfortunate cancellation in Perth.
