Pop group NEWS had to make an emergency postponement of their concert on Saturday due to a major typhoon. The performance was the first of two evening concerts at the Taipei Arena in Taiwan, scheduled for October 6 and 7. Fans had already gathered near the arena by 9:00am, but staff were concerned about safety due to the approaching typhoon. By 11:30am, they made the decision to cancel the concert.

To make up for it, a daytime performance has been added to the 7th, as long as weather permits.

According to AFP, the typhoon has so far resulted in at least two deaths, two missing persons, and seventeen injuries.
