To great sadness to many fans, who were supposed to attend Simple Plan’s 4-day concert appearances at the Walt Disney World in Florida this weekend, Simple Plan released an official statement yesterday that out of concern for their fans’ health as well as their own they’ve decided to cancel all of their Disney appearances this weekend. Just like many other events in the recent weeks, this cancelation decision was also made as a precaution for the current outbreak of the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus, which has recently been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.
This news came only a few hours before the Walt Disney World resort announced they would be closing down the entire park on Sunday, March 15th. Simple Plan’s appearances were originally supposed to take place from March 13th to 16th and it was supposed to be the fourth time in a row they would perform as a part of the Garden Rocks Concert Series at Walt Disney World. In the past years, the band members have also been known to take their families – including wifes and children – to this event.
Read Simple Plan’s official statement about this unfortunate cancelation below:
Although Walt Disney World remains open at this time, we feel that this is the right thing to do and the correct decision for our band and our fans at this moment.
We know a lot of you had planned to attend the shows and travel from all over the world to be there, and that this news will be extremely disappointing. We understand your frustration and would like to apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this will cause. Playing these shows at Disney with our families and all of you there has become one of our favorite yearly traditions and we are absolutely devastated and heartbroken to not be able to perform for you. We hope to be back as soon as possible and make it up to all of you.”
