The Kid LAROI entertained Malaysian fans in a hotel lobby after festival cancellation
24 Jul – A heartwarming news amid the brouhaha that is The 1975, Australian singer The Kid LAROI recently decided to perform for his Malaysian fans despite not being able to be a part of the now cancelled Good Vibes Music Festival.
Several TikTok videos went viral of the singer performing several songs including his hit single, "Stay" at the hotel where he stayed at, believed to be in Sepang.
In one of the videos, LAROI, real name Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, can be seen sitting comfortably at first as he started singing the song, before he got up and continued singing as fans began singing with him.
It was reported that he also performed "Without You" and "Diva" among other songs.
The singer also took to Instagram Story on 22 July to share a photo of him and his entourage as they arrived in KL, writing, "Touched down and found out the festival is cancelled. I love you Malaysia. I'm sorry."
He also posted several other photos, seemingly enjoying his performance-less time in KL, and joked that he wouldn't have been drunk and would know how to talk to the fans had he been able to perform at the festival.
Fans had since sung praises for the singer for still willing to commit to entertaining fans. Some also sang kudos to the hotel for letting LAROI perform impromptu.
The Good Vibes Music Festival was cancelled after The 1975 frontman Matt Healy's series of inappropriate and rude behaviour, including drinking and spitting on stage, dissing the Malaysian government, and kissing a band member.
