AUSTIN, Texas - Canadian singer-songwriter Michael Bublé has canceled his Austin appearance at the Frank Erwin Center on Sept. 20 after the venue did not accommodate his request for more stringent COVID-19 safety protocols.
"Though The University of Texas is confident in the health and safety protocols and procedures that are in place for large scale events, we are not in a position to expand on those as Michael Bublé requested," a representative from the Erwin Center said in a statement.
The statement did not detail how Bublé wanted the Erwin Center's safety protocols expanded, but a message posted to his official Twitter account in late August said that either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test would be required for entry to all shows on the upcoming tour.
