Bryan Adams concert in Australia is canceled after a 'fatberg' causes sewage overflow
Briefly

In Perth, the anticipation of Canadian musician Bryan Adams' concert was abruptly halted as a fatberg blocked the sewer system, resulting in wastewater overflow. Fatbergs, which are toxic masses of cooking fats, oils, grease, and non-degradable items like wet wipes, pose considerable challenges for waste management. The issue, exacerbated by rampant wet wipe usage, led to the concert's cancellation shortly before it was to begin, leaving fans disappointed. Wastewater authorities emphasize the need for proper disposal of fats and wipes to prevent such costly blockages.
Fatbergs are massive globs of congealed cooking fat, grease, and other waste often held together by wet wipes that create significant water blockages in sewer systems.
Wastewater authorities warned of wastewater flowing into the venue from a fatberg blockage, forcing the cancellation of Bryan Adams' concert in Perth.
