The many gay fans of music icon Grace Jones will be incredibly disappointed at the news the Grassroots Festival, where she was to feature, has been cancelled. The event was to take place over Easter at Puhinui Reserve in Manukau. The promoters have released the following statement: "Since the devastating earthquakes in Christchurch, and the consequential standstill with which the entire country has come to, the very difficult decision has been made to cancel the event. We do not feel right seeking real media coverage for the festival while the country is so affected by this terrible disaster." Full refunds will be made at point of sale.
