Nicki Minaj's concert tonight at the Co-op Live in Manchester, attended by thousands of fans, has been postponed at the last minute after she was arrested hours earlier in the Netherlands.
The American singer and rapper, 41, was held at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on suspicion of possession of soft drugs.
Fans had been let into the Manchester venue in the evening despite the star's detention.
Minaj was later released from custody just before 9pm on Saturday (UK time) but she will have to pay an undisclosed fine for "illegally exporting soft drugs from the Netherlands to another country", Dutch police told Sky News.
However, the gig will be moved to a later date with a statement from promoters Live Nation saying: "Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled performance which will be announced ASAP.
