Oscar-award winning musician AR Rahman was supposed to perform for the first time in Colombo along with 19 other musicians on April 23. However, the concert has been postponed indefinitely after few political outfits protested against it in front of his residence. The anti-Srilankan wing claimed questioned Rahman's decision to team up with a government that is responsible for the genocide of Tamils in the country.
"We are deeply saddened to inform you that we are forced to postpone the AR Rahman - Live in Concert event, which was scheduled for the 23rd of April 2016 to a later date due to the Indian Elections that are scheduled. We had planned a line up of more than 14 impressive artists to perform on the AR Rahman Live in Concert Tour to make the night a phenomenal musical experience for you, and WE WILL! Please do not worry about the event, we will definitely organize this event as soon as we obtain the confirmation of our performing artists!" the organizers stated in a press release.
