Pharrell Williams had been due to perform at the festival.

In a post on the festival`s Facebook page, organisers wrote: "A police report has been filed and we are working very closely with all relevant authorities in examining and determining the cause of this very unfortunate incident.

"In the interest of public safety we have heeded the authority`s advice to not proceed with Day-3 of Future Music Festival Asia 2014.
