Death in the museum is off

Napalm Death's planned show at London's V&A museum has been cancelled over fears that the noise generated by the band will "damage the historic fabric" of the V&A's exhibits and the the building itself. V&A staff say the decision was taken "with regret" and "This was due to take place in the Europe Galleries which are currently being refurbished, and a further safety inspection has revealed concerns that the high level of decibels generated by the performance would damage the historic fabric of the building. The V&A is committed to an exciting programme of exhibitions and events but the safety of our visitors and building remains our priority at all times". The V&A is currently hosting a sold out retrospective of David Bowie's career.
