Description

Aerosmith gets silenced.

The American rock band canceled their Indonesian concert due to security concerns.

Jakarta was put on high terror alert last week after counter-terrorism police said they had foiled a planned attack on the Myanmar embassy.

It is the second major concert to be canceled in Jakarta over the past year.

For some fans the cancellation is disappointing.

SOUNDBITE: Leila Assegaf, Aerosmith fan, saying (English):

"I have been waiting for Aerosmith for years now and I know that Steven Tyler is getting old so maybe they wouldn't be back around this region for a long time."

Aerosmith is on the Asia-Pacific leg of their world tour - next the group will perform in the Philippines and Japan.
