“We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.” Devon Wheatley, CEO of Fifth Element Records stated. “We cannot emphasize just how sorry we are for disappointing not only the faithful promoters, but also the dedicated fans of Richie Spice.”

“Unfortunately, Richie Spice is having unforeseen travel issues that will prevent him from performing at the concert,” states David “Squeeze” Annakie, President and CEO of LinkUp Media Inc and promoter of the JAMROCK Reggae Fest. “Fortunately, the JAMROCK Reggae Fest has a strong line-up featuring some of the biggest names in Reggae music. Patrons can still look forward being thoroughly entertained with a stellar show.”

The 2007 JAMROCK Reggae Fest features top-ranking Dancehall deejay Buju Banton, Grammy-award winning pop music favorite Shaggy, the ‘fire man’ Capleton, Lover’s Rock crooner Sanchez, ‘Jamaica’s Stevie Wonder’ Frankie Paul and Reggae music icon Marcia Griffiths, alongside Collie Buddz, Tarrus Riley, Etana, Mr. Peppa, Richie Stephens, the Danceheall Gladiators—Brigadier Jerry, Mumma Nancy, Ranking Joe, Mikey Jarrett, and Carlton Livingston; Cutty Ranks, General Degree, Twin of Twins, Khari Kill, Bigga Haitian, and Christopher.

In a public press statement, Wheatley and Fifth Element promise to make-up any missed performances during the three-week delay in Richie Spice’s scheduled U.S. appearances.
