Sorry, folks! Shahrukh Khan is coming next year

The concert was initially postponed due to logistic and security issues following US President Barrack Obama’s visit on the 10th and 11th October.

“We have postponed and the decision will not be pulled back,” said the concert’s organising spokesperson, O. Kumaraguru when contacted by Astro AWANI.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today announced that Obama has postponed his visit due to the temporary US government shutdown.

Kumaraguru explained, if Obama had announced his delay earlier, perhaps the concert could have taken place on the fixed date.

The Shah Rukh Khan & Friends concert is now scheduled to take place before April 2014 and the exact date is expected to be announced by the end of this month.

The announcement was made by the organisers, 2Spicy Entertainment Sdn Bhd and Hitman Solutions Sdn Bhd through a statement on its ticket selling website www.vip.my.

According to the statement, this (postponement) was due to security reasons, which was brought up following the date of the president’s visit to Malaysia being close to the date of the concert.

The statement explains that Obama’s visit also raised logistic issues, which may affect the concert.

Concert organisers expressed their regret over the postponement

The statement also stated that fans, who had purchased the tickets can get their refund at any Rock Corner outlets starting 12 October and it processed within 10 working days.

For those who wish to hold on to their tickets, organisers have promised an exclusive fan package on the new date of the concert.
