It looks like 2026 isn\u2019t off to the smoothest start for the Singland Festival, a three-day event touted as Singapore\u2019s largest indoor New Year celebration at Marina Bay Sands. First, K-pop star Rain lamented that the audience was too quiet during his set on New Year’s Eve. Now, Canadian singer-songwriter Henry Lau is the next star to publicly vent his frustration over performing at the event on Jan 3.<\/p>\n
The performance was meant to mark the 36-year-old former Super Junior-M member\u2019s Singapore debut as a solo artiste but instead saw the multi-instrumentalist roaming the stage with his violin in hand and calling out the venue in the process.<\/p>\n
Apologising to the audience, Lau said, \u201cI hope that after today, no other singer, no other performer, will perform at this place again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Marina Bay Sands, I love you guys, it isn\u2019t their fault, it is just that this is not a place for performing.\u201d<\/p>\n
What was the reason for his outburst? Henry Lau went on to explain that visibility was a major issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I am standing here, they can\u2019t see me, they can\u2019t see me, no one can see me. And the most important thing is I want to see you all,\u201d he elaborated as he continuously walked around the stage to address fans at different corners of the venue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
