Kesha decided to cancel her concert at Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion on July 8 after the deadly flash floods.
“I wanted to say thank you for coming out to support an independent artist. I have been so excited for tonight and to celebrate my freedom and go tits out with all of you, but due to the weather and what yall here in Texas have been facing, I have to put your safety first,” Kesha posted on her social media pages. “My heart is with you Texas. I’m so sorry that I can’t play this show tonight because of the weather and for all of your safety.”
However, she made it clear that she wasn’t giving up hope that she could perform for everyone. She rescheduled the show for the following day, on July 9.
“I’m going to stay here in your beautiful city and come back here tomorrow and would love to play for all of you tomorrow night,” she continued. “All of your tickets will be honored and I’m so sorry. Get home safe, let’s party tomorrow.”
According to CNN, at least 150 people are still known to be missing from the floods, with 119 confirmed dead.
