Gordon Ramsay was due to appear in Perth, Western Australia for two charity events on June 24 and 25, but the promters, Diablo events have recently announced their cancellation.

Their official statement reads as follows “Diablo Events has exercised its rights of termination under the Celebrity Appearance Agreement between Diablo Events, Gordon Ramsay Holdings and Gordon Ramsay. Consequently, Gordon Ramsay will no longer be appearing in Perth for Diablo Events for either the breakfast function on 24 June 2009 or the Black Tie Dinner on 25 June 2009.

We will be in contact regarding refunds in due course and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

No doubt the Ramsay bashers and trashy media will link this to the ridiculous spectale that was made of Gordon Ramsay’s jokes about Tracey Grimashaw (and not other celebrities who took it better and didn’t have the platform to launch their bitter and mis-informed responses). I’m not sure how these events normally work, but the story in other media related to slow ticket sales – not cancellations.

Possibly it is normal to sell many of the tickets at the last minute and that the bad press removed this option, either way the people of Perth and charities involved are the big losers.

As I type this, Gordon Ramsay is in Queensalnd, helping Sanctuary Cove celebrate their 21st birthday, where he will be joined with his wife Tana. Hopefully we here something positive coming out of this event.
