But on Sunday, it was final, said Minola Sebayang
a lawyer for Big Daddy, the promoter of the June 3 show.

'It's unfortunate,' he said. 'But with threats if the concert
goes ahead, Lady Gaga's side is calling it off. This is not
only about Lady Gaga's security, but extends to those
who will be watching her.'

On Sunday, she tweeted: 'We had to cancel the concert in
Indonesia. I'm so very sorry to the fans & [I am] just as
devastated as you if not more. You are everything to me.'

Indonesia, a secular nation of 240 million, is often held up by
the U.S. and others an example of how democracy
and Islam and can coexist. In many ways they are right.

Since emerging from dictatorship just over a decade ago
sweeping reforms have resulted in direct elections
while vastly improving human rights and freeing up the media.

But a small extremist fringe has become more
vocal - and violent - in recent years, attacking
Christians and members of other religious minorities
transvestites, atheists and anyone else deemed 'immoral.'

The most notorious group, Islamic Defenders Front,
called Lady Gaga a 'messenger of the devil' and
vowed to turn out at the airport by the thousands
if she tried to step off the plane.

Others said they bought tickets so they could wreak
havoc from inside the 52,000-seat stadium
in the capital, Jakarta.

Police responded by denying the necessary permits.
Then, after public outcry, they said
they'd reconsider - but only if Lady Gaga agreed to tone down her act
