IT TAKES A SMALLISH TERRORIST GROUP TO HOLD US BACK

The November 20 London Astoria show falls victim to The War Against Terrorism...

PUBLIC ENEMY have cancelled their LONDON ASTORIA show on November 20, due to growing fears over international terrorism.

The UK is not the only country to suffer, as all international touring has been ruled out for the foreseeable future.

Speaking to NME.COM, Public Enemy member Professor Griff said: "Our main concern is the security of our fans, and with G-DUB's ever present 'war on terrorism' looming, Public Enemy might be seen as agitators in the whole scheme of things. We have decided to postpone our touring abroad for right now. Hopefully in the near future we will be able to resume our tour and continue to 'give the peeps what they need'".

There was no indication of when Public Enemy would return to the UK.
