PHOENIX — Rapper 50 Cent is postponing his concert in the Valley due to extreme heat. The rapper was scheduled to perform at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre on Aug. 29.
On Monday night, 50 Cent announced the concert's cancellation on his social media. In a tweet, the performer said, "116 degrees is dangerous for everyone."
He also told those seeking refunds to go to their ticket point of purchase for instructions on how to get their money back.
Though 50 Cent promised to "be back in Arizona soon," a rescheduled date for the event has not been set.
On Monday, Sky Harbor recorded 117 degrees, which broke the daily record by 4 degrees.
12News meteorologist Lindsay Riley said an excessive heat warning is in effect through Tuesday for lower desert locations as towering afternoon temperatures reach 113+ degrees.
