Barbara Bobak Cancels Farewell Show on Montenegrin Coast

Barbara Bobak has canceled the show she had scheduled for August 13, which was meant to close out her season on the Montenegrin coast. She broke the news herself, in a post on Instagram on the evening of August 12, a full day before the scheduled date.

The reason is medical. The singer says she is battling a severe sore throat and can barely speak, and concluded there was no way she would be fit to perform by the following day.

My dear ones, I was so looking forward to tomorrow’s farewell show on the Montenegrin coast, but iced drinks and sleeping under the air conditioning had to catch up with me at some point, so right now I’m suffering an unbearable sore throat and can barely speak, and I know my own body well enough to be sure there’s no chance it will be working properly by tomorrow. I love you, and forgive me

She closed the post with an apology to her audience. She did not name the club or the town where the show was supposed to take place.

Why Did Barbara Bobak Cancel the Show at the Last Minute?

She described the cause quite plainly, and did so herself, with no one speaking for her. Iced drinks and sleeping under the air conditioning, in her own words, finally caught up with her in the middle of summer.

It is a familiar summer story for any singer working the coast. The air conditioning runs all day in the room, the drinks are cold, and the voice is a tool that wears down night after night. Barbara Bobak wrote that she knows her own body well enough to know exactly how the next day would go, and that waiting it out would not have changed anything.

That is why the decision came a day early rather than right before the show. For fans who were already set to attend it was disappointing news, but at least it arrived in time for plans to change.

The Show That Was Supposed to Close Out the Season

This date was not just another stop on the calendar. It was meant to wrap up the entire season on the Montenegrin coast, the last night in front of an audience that had filled the coastal clubs all summer long.

Canceling a show like that carries a different weight than canceling any other. A farewell performance cannot simply be pushed to the following weekend, because by then the season is already over.

Not Her First Trouble on Stage This Summer

Barbara Bobak recently had a performance interrupted in a club in Kikinda. While she was singing one of her songs, two torches on stage that clearly were not working properly caught fire, filling the stage with thick black smoke.

The singer began choking. She stopped the music, stepped back and waved the smoke away from herself with her hand.

Turn that off, I’m choking! Just a moment, we’ll start again. I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to light this thing, these people ruined my song for me

Once the smoke cleared, she returned to the microphone and addressed the crowd.

Since we already interrupted the song, let me say hello too, good evening! Thank you for coming out in such numbers, I’m so glad to see you

The show continued to the end of the night after the brief interruption.

What Is Known About a New Date

Barbara Bobak did not mention any new date in her post, nor did she announce that the show would be rescheduled. The statement contains only the cancellation notice, the reason, and an apology to her fans.

The timeline is short and clear. The show was scheduled for August 13. The cancellation announcement came on August 12 via Instagram. The reason is a severe sore throat that has left the singer barely able to speak, caused, by her own account, by a combination of cold drinks and air conditioning.
