Razorlight Axe Russian Show After Officials Demand Money

Borrell and co. refuse...

Razorlight reportedly cancelled a gig in Russia this weekend after officials demanded a huge sum of money before they played.

The band were due to play at Moscow’s Railway Depot on Friday night (November 24) when promoters apparently called for them to pay up.

It’s believed that the officials were demanding that Johnny Borrell and co. should pay an undisclosed sum to the government for a permit.

As a result, as the Mirror reports, the band axed the 4,000 capacity headline show.
