Tyler, the Creator Forced to Cancel Surprise London Show by Police
Tyler, the Creator was forced to cancel his first appearance in London in four years after crowds got too large. The IGOR rapper announced a surprise show at the Bussey Building in the South London neighbourhood of Peckham today, but an unanticipated response from fans led police to call off the show.
The press of people was so bad that special guests couldn't get out of the venue. A video shot by a fan shows Virgil Abloh escaping by crawling under a gate.
Tyler was banned from the U.K. in 2015 by then-Home Secretary Theresa May, citing lyrics from Tyler's early project Bastard. That ban was reportedly lifted in February.
