APRIL VICE CANCELS THREE CACTUS CONCERT; CAUGHT WITH MUSHROOMS



April Vice canceled her Three Cactus concert as a result of not having her hotel room laid out according to her demands... this according to a source close to April Vice's team. April was staying at the famous and ancient Three Cactus Hotel.

She was in Three Cactus to perform a selection of songs from her hit new album I Adore Me but canceled three hours after she was scheduled to perform. Instead April decided to party at the trendy Three Cactus Gay Pirate Bar with her back up dancers and friends. Photos snapped at the bar showed April holding what appeared to be a Utopian Red Mushroom, an illegal drug in Three Cactus.

At this exact same moment many of April's fans in Three Cactus were left waiting in the heat before receiving word that April wasn't coming. April and her team were apparently furious that the bed in her hotel room was made with cheaply imported Turkonian cloth instead of Naboo silk as requested.

Believed to be both bored and annoyed, April apparently stood by and laughed as her team wrecked the hotel room; breaking windows and throwing around trash.

Regardless of the hotel's lack of affiliation to her concert, April canceled.

Three Cactus police, who were later notified about the suspicious picture, were unable to question April as she and her team had already left back to Central Utopia, where April is expected to perform at the Utopia Stadium.

So far no word back from Three Cactus, Central Utopia or April...

Detective Inspector Fig; the principle lead in this investigation released a statement this afternoon on behalf of the Three Cactus Constabulary Commission:

"At 22:36 yesterday evening, we received a call out from the historic Three Cactus Hotel. Police proceeded to attend the scene to find the hotel room in a state of disrepair. After ascertaining statements from the staff, the manager informed us that he was not pressing charges.

With the release of an image of a Miss April Vance holding a class A substance, the Pirate Bar in the lagoon was promptly served with a warrant and the premises searched. Class A substances have been found and the owner taken into custody for further questioning.

The possession of a Class A substance is illegal in Three Cactus. As Miss Vance has left the country we can not pursue charges at this time. No doubt however the next time she applies for entry via a visa it will be taken into account, the actions that have taken place yesterday evening. Knowing her famous demeanour, we presume she will care little for these actions. As an example we expect her to hold herself in a higher regard. Perhaps she will keep this in mind the next time she chooses to parade like a common Harlet.
