Police to Black Eyed Peas: Turn it Down or Turn it Off!
A Black Eyed Peas' show was cut short, as police forced the hitmakers to throw in the towel due to complaints that the sound was too loud.
Performing an outdoor concert at an event marking the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego police officers arrived to shut the show down, E! News reported.
Being the lady that she is, Fergie very calmly informed the fans that the show would need to be cut short, but not before playing their smash hit "Where is the Love" which they reportedly, perhaps a little facetiously, dedicated to the police who waited near by.
According to a Hard Rock representative, the show was only 90 minutes into it's scheduled rump-shaking agenda when the police requested that they pack it in. Apparently, locals were complain about the loud music, some from as far as two miles away.
In addition to the concert, the Peas designed a suite for the hotel. All of the profits gained from the use of the pea-themed room are to be generously donated to the Peapod Foundation, the band's personal charity.
