Have you ever seen those videos of rented steamrollers crushing piles of rap records? Those days are mostly over, but socially-minded groups have continued to push back against certain artists. Just ask Tyler, The Creator: According to a post on Frontier Touring's Facebook page, the rapper has cancelled the Australian leg of his Cherry Bomb World Tour. All ticket holders are entitled to their money back (see the details for your particular show on the page), and the company expressed its condolences. "We would much rather come to Australia when it isn't surrounded in controversy," Tyler said in a statement. "I love my fans there and hopefully I'll be back soon. Don't do drugs." The brief swing was supposed to start September 3 in Brisbane.
