Ella Langley Cancels Tulsa Concert Over Security Threat

Country singer Ella Langley canceled her Oct. 9 concert at Tulsa’s BOK Center hours before showtime, citing a serious security threat involving the safety of fans, venue staff and her team. The venue also announced the concert would not proceed, and said ticket-refund information would be provided later. Langley said in a social-media statement that the decision followed advice from local authorities, the venue and her security team. She apologized to ticket holders, acknowledging the time, travel and planning involved in attending, and said she would not put people at risk. She did not describe the specific nature of the threat. The BOK Center said safety was its priority and that, after consideration, the show could not go ahead. Its statement also apologized to fans and said refund details would follow. Neither Langley nor the venue supplied a timeline for that information in the statements described in the reports. Reports citing local news coverage said Tulsa police received a bomb-threat call to the venue. Officers and K9 units conducted an initial sweep and found no indication of a threat, according to those accounts.
