Iltalehti reported today that concert venues in at least five cities are considering Jari Sillanpään cancellation of Christmas concerts. Three Christmas concerts have been canceled so far.

Sillanpää points out that in the fall of 2022, he will give a concert to sold-out audiences in Turku, Lappeenranta and Hämeenlinna as well. The Christmas concerts in all three cities have been canceled this year.
– The situation hasn’t changed at all since last fall, the documentary only woke up the shouters to the matter again, says Sillanpää, referring to the one that appeared in the fall Silt– documentary series.
Sillanpää expresses his regret both on behalf of those who bought the ticket and his own team.
– This all affects the livelihood of so many families.

Sillanpää writes that despite everything, he is excited about the upcoming tour. He also says that he has received a lot of positive feedback.
– I received the court’s verdict more than five years ago, so I hope it is enough and that I can continue my life in peace, says Sillanpää.

Iltalehti’s investigation shows that concert venues in Helsinki, Porvoo, Hyvinkää and Mikkeli are discussing the possible cancellation of concerts. Pori has also previously announced that they are considering canceling the concert.

The reason for the cancellations is the singer’s criminal convictions, which came to light this fall Siltwith the documentary. Sillanpää has received criminal convictions for drunk driving, drug offenses and spreading an image offensive to sexual immorality.
Concerts canceled in Hämeenlinna, Turku and Lappeenranta have justified the cancellations by saying that they are child-friendly cities.
The singer’s participation in the concert organized in support of the Cancer Foundation was also canceled earlier in the fall.
