Any hopes of hearing Jamie Lidell's throaty take on the hook from GZA's "Cold World" seem destined to remain mere fantasies, as the two's previously reported show together has been canceled. The September 15 event at Brooklyn's McCarren Park Pool was a benefit for the Open Space Alliance, and GZA would have performed his landmark album Liquid Swords in its entirety-- just like he did at the Pitchfork Music Festival.

Show organizers JellyNYC cite "unforeseen circumstances" for the cancellation.

GZA remains plenty busy with the Wu-Tang Clan in preparation for the forthcoming 8 Diagrams. Jamie Lidell is busy working on a new album...we hope.

Refunds for those who have purchased tickets will be available at the point of purchase.
