“To our dearest Peabodies,” the trio of will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo wrote Sunday on Instagram. “It is with a heavy heart that, in light of current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not be moving forward as planned. Ticket providers will issue full refunds automatically. Stay tuned for updates on future performances by following us — we can’t wait to see you again.”
Called Black Eyed Peas: 3008 The Las Vegas Experience, the residency at the 7,000-seat hall was slated to run in three five-show segments through May: February 15-16 ,19 and 21-22; March 21-22, 26 and 28-29 and May 24-25, 28 and 30-31.
“Our first residency in Las Vegas gives Black Eyed Peas the opportunity to do what we do best, to dream up something brand new and creative that pushes the boundaries of the live show experience,” Will.i.am said in a statement when the shows were announced in September.
The group has six Grammys, has sold more than 31 million records in the U.S. alone and is the second-best-selling group of all time for downloaded tracks. It has 10 Top 10 hits stateside including three chart-toppers with “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” — which combined to give the group a record 26 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2009 — and “Imma Be” the following year. It also racked up three straight multiplatinum albums in the 2000s.
