Giggs’ 10-date tour around the UK has been cancelled due to the growing concerns of the Metropolitan Police…

Peckham’s favourite son was meant to start his tour tonight across the UK which would span to 10 dates but was has been cancelled due to consultation between promoters and police.

The Met Police said they spoke to the promoters of the London show, which was due to take place at the O2  Academy in Islington on 4 March, and claimed that there were ‘potential’ risks’ if the show went ahead. A spokesperson for the Met said “”Police advised that there were concerns about potential risk to the event, if it took place.” As soon as the London show was cancelled  all the other venues started pulling out.

Giggs responded by sarcastically thanking the police for “all this great promotion that they’re giving me. All these cancellations and that is just making me more powerful.”

The South London MC went on his twitter account (@sn1giggs) to further vent his frustration at the situation saying “just wanna thank trident for cancellin my shows,your doin a great job keep up the good work.:-).”

He then tweeted “i knw the feds are pissed i’m progressing,so if i get assassinated we all know who the culprits are.”

The Met responded saying “We routinely exchange intelligence and information with other police forces but any police decision to advise a venue about a planned event would be taken at a local level.”

Giggs single Don’t Go There (Featuring B.o.B) was released last Sunday and is available to buy on iTunes now.
