Lady Gaga at the center of lawsuit over cancelled concert
Lady Gaga is at the center of a new lawsuit over the cancellation of her concert in Indonesia last year (12).
The pop superstar called off her 3 June (12) show in Jakarta after fundamentalist protesters threatened to intercept her upon arrival in the country.
Now the show's promoters are taking legal action against insurers
at Lloyds of London for allegedly failing to make good on a policy
which covers losses for gigs axed due to "the sole and direct
result of terrorism and/or sabotage or threat".
The lawsuit, filed in California federal court, accuses the
insurance providers of denying coverage "based on language and
purported conditions that are not contained in The Terrorism
Policies".
The promoters are demanding at least $75,000 to cover the losses,
according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gaga pulled out of the remaining dates on her Born This Way Ball
tour last month (Feb13) after being diagnosed with joint
inflammation and a labral tear of her right hip.
It is estimated the cancellations will cost as much as $25 million
.
