KUALA LUMPUR: The much anticipated concert by bootylicious Beyonce Knowles in November has been called off. It is learnt that the concert, which would have been the first by the sexy R&B singer in Malaysia, will not go on as planned, as many organisations are against it.
Pineapple Concert chairman Razlan Razali refused to comment but said that a statement would be issued today.
The Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage said it was unaware of the status of Beyonce's concert.
�We have not received any application from the organisers for her performance, so we don't know what is the present status of the concert,� said Central Committee for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artiste (Puspal) chief assistant secretary Siti Zaleha Baba.
