Chris Brown cancels New Year's Eve concert in the Philippines after 'losing his passport'

Chris Brown canceled a New Year's Eve concert in the Philippines at the last minute because of a lost passport.

Brown tweeted on Wednesday: 'Due to unfortunate circumstances I can't bring in the new year with you...'

'Too bad since the Philippines Arena is one of the best arenas in the world! Stay tuned Team Breezy!!!!'

'#TeamBreezyManila I'll see you in spring!'

The organizers, Maligaya Development Corp., said they were informed by Brown's local representatives Wednesday afternoon that he was still in Los Angeles.

'According to them, Chris Brown lost his passport the day before the scheduled event,' it said in a statement. 

'Hence despite having entered into a contract with us, Chris Brown would not be able to comply with his obligation to perform.'

He was set to perform along with other musical acts at the 55,000-seat Philippine Arena in the New Year's Eve concert, which also featured a fireworks show.

Brown recently reconciled with his on-again off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran, 26.

The pair were seen together on a romantic stroll the day after Christmas. She had earlier boasted on Instagram about receiving lavish diamond rings. 

 has come as a surprise to fans as the stylist recently vowed she'd never reunite with the 'Fine China' hitmaker, who was placed on probation after beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, again following their split earlier this month.

Brown annoucned he'd split from Tran while performing in Los Angeles four weeks ago, saying 'I'm single too! F**k that b***h.'

However, the troubled star later apologised to his ex-girlfriend on Twitter for 'airing out' their personal life in public.

He wrote: 'Being young and dumb is one of my strong suits and emotional at best. I love hard and react impulsively when I'm hurt at times. I don't think social media is a place to air out or hash out personal problems and a n***a feel hella WACK for doing it.

'So I AM APOLOGIZING I live in a glass house and the same s**t that makes me great also is my curse. Everybody know I love that girl. I don't care how my image my look to the public because I'm still gonna be the best at what I do. I just want baby girl to know I apologize! (sic)'.

The pair first started dating in 2011 but have broken up on a number of occasions.
