Hedleyfans made their way to The Audarena in Kitchener Saturday to watch the band perform before the members stepdown at the end of their tour.

Despite calls to cancel the Kitchener concert, the band still put on a show andfans continue to show their support.

"I'm sticking with them until proven guilty," said one teen fan, who has been to three Hedley concerts in the past.

"I believe in Canada, we should beinnocent until proven guilty," said another concert-goer, whose first Hedleyconcert was Saturday and bought tickets to support the band.

"I feel bad with what's going on with them and if it actually is true, I'll feel even worse, but I don't believe half of it so I bought tickets in support."

Cities across southwestern Ontario have cancelled Hedley shows since allegations of sexual misconduct against main singer, Jacob Hoggard, surfaced.

The City of Kitchener told CBCNews it has beenmonitoring thesituation over the past weeks.

However, a contract with Live Nation meant the Hedley concert must go on for Saturday.

Concert-goers who no longer wanted to attend the show were able to get a refund fortheir tickets.
