The 33-year-old Grammy nominee, last seen in Australia on Sunday, came under fire after he or someone from his team posted a flier for his October 28 gig at Drai's, Las Vegas, on Twitter and Facebook, reports dailymail.co.uk.

One user wrote: "All the s*** going on in Vegas right now. Take some time from thinking about yourself and promoting a concert in Vegas", and another also shared: "Too early bro".
