Pop star Jessie J has cancelled her scheduled concert in Toronto, Canada due to extreme winter weather and safety concerns. The 37 year old singer was set to perform at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall on Sunday night as part of her ongoing tour, but worsening conditions forced her to call off the show.
Jessie J shared the news on Instagram, explaining that she made the decision personally after seeing how dangerous the weather had become. Heavy snowfall and a powerful winter storm made travel risky for both fans and crew, with snow continuing to fall and temperatures dropping. She said she did not feel “comfortable having people risk their safety for the show” and that for her, safety must come first.
In her message, Jessie acknowledged that some people might be disappointed, while others might feel relieved, but she believes cancelling was the right choice. She also reassured ticket holders that they would receive full refunds. At the venue, she described how difficult it had already been for people to get there and said she could not imagine how fans would make their way home in the dark under such conditions.
Many of her followers have responded on social media with understanding and support, saying they respect her decision and appreciate the emphasis on audience safety. Some fans also expressed hope that the show might be rescheduled once weather conditions improve.
The cancellation comes amidst a strong winter storm affecting much of the region, with heavy snowfall and very low temperatures making travel hazardous in Toronto and surrounding areas
