The Roots' SXSW Show Reportedly Canceled Due to Bomb Threats

The Roots & Friends had to make a responsible decision by canceling their scheduled South by Southwest performance, due to alleged bomb threats.

Bud Light, the official sponsor, issued the following statement:

Due to a security concern, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s Bud Light x The Roots SXSW Jam. After working proactively with SXSW, the Austin Police Department, and other authorities, Bud Light believes this is the best course of action to ensure the safety of our guests, staff, and artists, and appreciate your understanding. We are truly sorry to have to cancel the event, but we felt it was necessary to take all safety precautions.

In a series of deleted tweets, The Roots’ drummer, Questlove, wrote that there was a severe emergency.
