Country singer Ella Langley cancelled her Oct. 9 concert at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma after a serious security threat was reported, then performed the next night in Lubbock, Texas.
What happened
Langley announced the Tulsa cancellation just hours before doors were set to open, saying the safety of fans, staff and her team was paramount. Police conducted two sweeps of the venue and found no credible bomb or shooting threat. The following evening, Langley took the stage in Lubbock, addressing the audience of roughly 15,000 and explaining why she chose to continue.
What was said
During the Lubbock show, Langley told the crowd, “If it wasn’t for Him, I would have canceled this show tonight,” and added that she “won’t live in fear” when she sees the phrase “do not fear” in the Bible. She also emphasized that no concert is worth a human life.
