Hugh Jackman has cancelled his massive London BST Hyde Park show, saying that he is “deeply disappointed” by the decision.

The Wolverine star’s UK-exclusive headline slot with a capacity of 65,000 people was set to take place on Sunday July 6. Titled ‘From London with Love’, the show would have seen him perform songs from various musicians such as The Boy From Oz, The Greatest Showman, Les Miserables, and The Music Man, alongside other surprises.

Today (February 3) the actor and singer shared a statement explaining why he will no longer be able to perform at the show later this summer. “Due to an unforeseen conflict in my schedule, I am deeply disappointed to announce I will be unable to perform in Hyde Park this July 6,” began his statement.

He continued: “This was a stage I truly was looking forward to being on, no less in a city that I love so much. Thank you to all people who’ve purchased tickets,” he said before adding that for ticket refunds, those who purchased can visit here for more information. He concluded his message with: “London, I’ll see you soon!”

Team BST also shared that “Ticketholders for Hugh Jackman will automatically be refunded in full for tickets purchased through official agents.”

US country star Zach Bryan has also been announced as a headliner and is set to take to the Great Oak Stage on June 28 and 29, the latter being an extra show added due to “phenomenal demand”.

Megan Thee Stallion To Leave Moulin Rouge! The Musical Ahead Of Schedule

Megan Thee Stallion is stepping away from Moulin Rouge! The Musical earlier than expected, ending her run two weeks ahead of schedule.

In a statement released on Monday, the Savage rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, confirmed that she will be wrapping up her time in the Broadway production sooner than planned.

Megan’s last performance in the role of Zidler is now set for May 1.

“It’s been such an honour to be part of Moulin Rouge! and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theatre! Y’all work so hard and I have so much respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the effort y’all put into the work!” she shared. “Every single person at the Moulin Rouge! has inspired me to go harder as an entertainer.”

She also took time to show appreciation for her fellow cast members and her fanbase, known as Hotties, for standing by her throughout the experience.

“I’m so grateful for the cast and crew that made this experience so meaningful. Y’all are really some of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met! To all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey!” the 31 year old added.

Back in February, Megan revealed she would take on the role, originally named Harold Zidler, for a limited eight week engagement.

She made history as the first woman to step into the Zidler role, following performers such as Boy George, Eric Anderson and Bob the Drag Queen, who have previously portrayed the character.

Her Broadway run has unfolded alongside a series of personal challenges.

Earlier this month, the Hot Girl Summer artist was taken to hospital after falling ill during a performance, where she was treated for extreme exhaustion and related symptoms before returning to the stage days later.

Over the weekend, Megan also shared on Instagram Stories that she had split from Klay Thompson after nearly a year together.

In the post, the Texas native accused the basketball player of being unfaithful.

Representatives for Klay have yet to respond to the claims.
