The former Oasis hitmaker was unable to perform on Saturday night at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) after the site was abruptly evacuated due to a bomb threat.

The journalist for the outlet who attended the gig wrote, “The stage was all set for Noel Gallagher. Then a guy came on stage and said: ‘Due to circumstances beyond our control, the show will not continue.'”
Garbage posted on Twitter after the ordeal, “We have no idea what happened tonight. We were just all evacuated and we were concerned for everyone !!! I’m sorry we have no real information. We were just told there was an emergency evacuation!!!!”
