AP080426034593.jpgDuring her Friday night show at Brooklyn’s McCarren Pool, M.I.A. apparently announced that the performance would be her last bit of Kala promotion, effectively canceling her upcoming European tour and her appearance at Bonnaroo this weekend. Her MySpace page still lists all of those upcoming dates, although given that she hasn’t approved any comments since the end of May perhaps whoever’s in charge of that is a little behind. Anyone know what’s up? [CRIMES AGAINST MUSIC]

    Isn’t she getting married or some such nonsense?

    Gonna go get married and is either currently or planning to be “up the duff.” I’d bet my life on it.

    If anyone reading can confirm this story, I promise the drinks are on me next time we go out.

    If you don’t drink, I’ll figure out some sort of fair trade.

    Maybe she’s preggers?

    Maybe she was too high to know her tour schedule exactly.

    I was at the show Friday but missed that announcement - either the result of my slightly late arrival or the Pool’s echoey soundsystem.

    Which, BTW, was perfect for a show like this. I’ve never been so appreciative of McCarren Pool’s Trenchtown-in-1981 vibe as I was at that show. Good times!
