Rapper Travis Scott's concert at Egypt's pyramids cancelled

"Complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert," Live Nation said in a statement on social media.

The Friday concert, planned to coincide with the release of his most recent album, had previously had its license withdrawn by the Egyptian musicians' syndicate, which also banned Lebanese band Mashrou Leila in 2017 after rainbow flags in support of the LGBTQ community were flown at its shows.
