Timbaland Disappoints

Timbaland is going to have a lot of angry Australian fans. Actually, he might not have any Aussie fans left after this!
The rapper was set to start his 2008 Australian tour overseas this week.
He was originally set to begin the tour in July, though he rescheduled the date and pushed it back to August.
Timbaland was then scheduled to open his tour in Sydney on Friday, August 15th at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with tickets going for $98.70 – $122.65.
However, with only two days left before the concert, he's CANCELLED the tour!
WTF?!?
Wonder if his ticket sales were so low they figured it would be best to cancel it all together.
Ticket holders got the following email sent to them. An "apology" letter by Ticketmaster, stating:
Subject: Timbaland Sydney Cancelled
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:34:01 +1000

The only thing close to an apology is a statement on Ticketek.com stating "The Timbaland event will not be proceeding. Showtime Touring Group & Timbaland apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
