The following message was posted by Jimmy Adcock<\/strong> on the W.A.S.P. Nation Official Group<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s Facebook page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWASP<\/strong> show in Dallas just got shut down by the Fire Marshall for being over-sold. Issuing refunds they said. Guess Dallas will have to wait another 10 years \"☹️\"\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adcock<\/strong> also posted a video of a spokesperson stating to the crowd (as transcribed by Sleaze Roxx<\/strong>): \u201cTrust me, I want you guys to have a great night but unfortunately the occupancy has been deemed too high on this specific patio [sounds of booing from the crowd]. I know guys. Listen, it is what it is. Everyone \u2014 guys, I appreciate the cheering and I am sure Blackie<\/strong> [Lawless<\/strong>] and his team do too. We would love nothing more than to have W.A.S.P.<\/strong> take the stage but unfortunately, that is not going to happen guys. So please head towards the exit. Guys, let me finish please. Everyone will get a full refund automatically. If you would kindly do me a favour and heads towards the exit, we would greatly appreciate it. Please do it peacefully [inaudible] and we\u2019re sorry guys. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
