Mos Def No Show At Sydney Soulfest

US hip hop star Mos Def, now known as Yasin Bey, failed to appear at today's Soulfest show in Sydney.

Fans were informed of the no-show just moments before his scheduled appearance time.

Bey had posted an apology to fans on Facebook three hours ahead his performance.

The post stated: "Peace Sydney. Sorry Im going to miss you today. We had some travel issues."

He went on to say he would make it for the Victorian leg of Soulfest: "Melbourne, I will be there tomorrow for Soulfest!!!"

And finally, he promised Sydney fans he would still perform there during the week: "You can catch me at The Enmore Theatre on Monday night."
