Country singer Ella Langley canceled her Oct. 9 concert at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., following a security threat, telling fans she refused to put anyone in danger.
"Due to a serious security threat involving the safety of my fans, the venue staff, and my team, the incredibly difficult decision was made to cancel tonight's show," Langley wrote on Instagram. "This decision was made under the advisement of local authorities, the venue, and my security team."
According to News On 6 in Oklahoma, Tulsa police said they received a false bomb threat call and conducted a preliminary sweep with K-9 officers that found no indication of a threat. Police told the station they did not advise BOK Center officials to cancel the performance.
"I know how much
time, travel, money, and planning goes into coming to a show, and I can't tell you how sorry I am," Langley wrote. "This is not a decision that was made lightly. I was so looking forward to spending tonight with you, but your safety will always mean more to me than anything else. I refuse to put anyone in harm's way."
Langley was scheduled to perform at the 19,199-seat venue with special guests Kameron Marlowe and Laci Kaye Booth. The venue shared the same statement confirming the cancellation and said additional information about ticket refunds would be shared as soon as possible. No rescheduled date for the Tulsa concert had been announced.
The "Dandelion" singer's next performance is Oct. 10 at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas, also with Marlowe and Booth. No cancellation of that performance has been announced.
