Fans of the thrash metal band Megadeth were both shocked and disappointed Sunday afternoon when the band abruptly announced its concert at Virginia Credit Union Live in Henrico was not going to happen.

"Due to unexpected and unpredictable circumstances, our show TONIGHT, Sunday, September 15th, in Richmond, Virginia, has been canceled and will not be rescheduled," the band posted on social media.

The announcement was posted around two hours before the venue was scheduled to open to fans, some of whom traveled from out of state to see the legendary act. To add to the confusion, the venue initially posted the cancellation announcement on its social media channels, then deleted the post.

The venue later shared the band's post of the announcement.
