KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — R&B star Beyonce Knowles has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia, the event’s organizer said Monday, following accusations by Islamic conservatives that the show would be immoral.
Knowles, known for her provocative clothes and choreography, had been scheduled to perform Sunday at a Kuala Lumpur stadium.
The show “has been postponed to a future date to be announced shortly,” Malaysian entertainment company Marctensia said. The country’s largest opposition group has called for the show to be scrapped because it would promote “Western sexy performances.” Other female pop stars such as Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have performed in Malaysia despite similar protest threats by conservative Muslims.
