The Liverpool singer, songwriter and guitarist told his fans that he would no longer be taking his musicians to Paris for the tour date set for August 11, after hearing the “horrific” events in the French capital at the Champions League final between Liverpool FC and Spanish club Real Madrid in May.
In May, kick-off was delayed by 37 minutes due to stadium access issues, while some fans with real tickets were denied entry on the night.
Liverpool demanded a formal investigation into the events that took place after supporters were also given tear gas by police.
The initial bottleneck was caused by police vans parked over a wide walkway, leaving only a small opening for Liverpool supporters to access the stadium.
Some supporters, including children, had to be taken to safety to avoid being crushed.
French government officials initially denied responsibility for the incident and blamed Liverpool fans for the chaos.
Officials investigating the chaos later admitted there were “great regrets” about the ugly scenes that left their mark on the 2022 finale.
On Twitter, the singer said: “EU Tour Update. Because of the horrific experience that I and so many others endured in Paris and the lies told by the French government in the aftermath, I have decided to cancel the performance in Paris from my upcoming European tour.
“I don’t want to return myself and my crew to a place where our safety is not guaranteed and to a place where the government is spreading lies and blame on and on my people. Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to the show.
“Hope to see you somewhere else soon.”
In May after the game, Webster told his fans: “It was something I never experienced as a child, it is something I had never seen before and because we were in a moment of madness I don’t think you have quite processed what you’ve seen, we were just trying to figure it out.”

“Maybe I was wrong, but it’s made up of all the information collected.
“Whether there are 30,000 or 40,000 people, it doesn’t change anything. The point is that there were people, in large numbers, who would probably interfere with the proper organization of the filtering. It doesn’t change much.”
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin also previously insisted much of the blame was on Liverpool fans, noting that 30,000 to 40,000 people arrived without actual tickets, sparking a crush in the crowd.
