They said police couldn't provide adequate protection for show.
Not a joke, nor kidding.

I wish. But it seems significant in light of the Michael Brown police protests.
I'll play this straight. Any news will be apolitical, but it's all political, bud.

U2 sucks!!!!

No, that's a statement for a different time and a different day. U2 specifically cited police action as a reason to cancel. That deserves comment.
Mods move to the political forum, please.

We have been informed by the St. Louis Police Department that they are not in a position to provide the standard protection for our audience as would be expected for an event of this size," the band said in a joint statement with tour promoter Live Nation published on U2's website.
"We have also been informed that local crowd security personnel would not be at full capacity," they explained. "In light of this information, we cannot in good conscience risk our fans’ safety by proceeding with tonight’s concert. As much as we regret having to cancel, we feel it is the only acceptable course of action in the current environment."

I didn't realize the police had become another issue in StL.
Honestly. Move to another forum.

Nickleback is filling in as there will be more than enough security.

Sort of. The show tonight is cancelled. But not because of civil unrest related to the Stockley verdict. When the band announced they needed a break from the tour setlist and chose STL to honor the 20th Anniversary of their studio album "Pop" and would play that album in its entirety instead of "The Joshua Tree", fans revolted and demanded refunds.

Not sure yet. The only link thus far has been to The Onion so this could all be just parody.
