It read: “I’m heartbroken to share that the show in Istanbul won’t be happening.
“There were logistical limitations that presented themselves recently, making it impossible to move forward in a way that would deliver the show – and the safe, fun experience – you deserve.”
Halsey’s statement went on: “Myself, my team and the local promoter have been so excited about this incredible international experience for months.
“I had big plans for this concert and I wouldn’t be making this statement if we hadn’t tried every option to give you the experience you deserve.”
The singer ended her statement by writing: “I love performing in Turkiye and it’s very important to me to come back in the future and do it right.
“Refunds will be available at point of purchase.”
Halsey’s fans took to X to share their disappointment after news of the cancelled gig.
One person wrote: “I am so disappointed, sorry but kinda half of the europe fandom booked trips to Istanbul to see the ONE fucking show that was planned for our whole continent and even after rescheduling you just cancel and leave us behind again.”
A second added: “We had to rebook tickets and spend double the amount of money to go to the new date, and now that’s cancelled?? I’m sure people would love to just hear halsey sing even if it’s not For my last trick.”

A third echoed: “Canceling the Istanbul concert exactly two weeks before the show, when everyone had already bought their hotel and flight tickets, was one of the most unprofessional things you’ve done in your career. You could have done a simple show and respect us.”
But the star had a lot of support from her fans too, as one person said: “guys, cancellations are going to happen and i’m sure halsey already feels bad enough. she gave yall a two week notice be thankful for that and not it being a few days before. yall act so entitled sometimes and i hate it, h is only human too.”
Another wrote: “hot take?? do fans not understand that halsey wouldn’t put out this message unless she absolutely had to? yall don’t think it hurts her to not play this show? fan safety is very impt when putting on a show. ofc you’re allowed to be sad but @‘ing h and anthony isn’t the move tbh.”
Last year, Halsey said she is lucky to be alive and hinted that she has been diagnosed with lupus and leukaemia.
She told fans: “Long story short, I’m lucky to be alive,” before tagging in charities that support people living with lupus and leukaemia.
Speaking in a video she posted online, Halsey said: “I told myself I’m giving myself two more years to be sick.
“When I’m 30, I’m having a rebirth and I’m not going to be sick.
“I’m going to look super hot and have lots of energy and get to redo my twenties and thirties.”
