The Reykjavík concert by American rapper Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, has been postponed until Friday, mbl.is reports.
The concert was scheduled to begin at 7pm on Thursday at Gamla bíó, a cinema venue in Reykjavík. It will now take place at the same time and location on Friday.
Ticket holders received text messages from the organisers at 5:17pm, less than two hours before the scheduled start. The message said a disruption to the travel of a member of Yasiin Bey’s team had prevented the musician from arriving and performing that evening.
Benedikt Freyr Jónsson, the concert organiser, who is also known as DJ Benni B-Ruff, confirmed the postponement to mbl.is.
He said the band member had been travelling from San Francisco in the United States but missed a connecting flight, making the postponement unavoidable.
“He cannot play without him,” Jónsson said, adding that Yasiin Bey regretted the situation.
Yasiin Bey has arrived in Reykjavík and is looking forward to performing for Icelandic audiences on Friday, Jónsson said.
