Akon's Manila Concert Postponed

MANILA - The much-awaited comeback concert of international R&B artist Akon here has been moved to a later date reportedly due to influenza A(H1N1) virus.

Akon’s concert was originally slated on July 4 at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City but “due to unforeseen circumstances” it has been moved to October 23. "SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon" reported that the organizers had been forced to postpone his concert due to H1N1.

In a taped message aired on SNN, the Senegalese-American singer-songwriter extended his apology to all his fans who already bought the tickets."

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our concert has been postponed for the 23rd of October. Make sure you will come and we apologize for the changes that we have to make but remember those tickets that were purchased are still valid for the concert. You can bring the same tickets to the concert on the 23rd of October. Thank you all and we will see you there," Akon said. In 2004, Akon became popular with the release of "Locked Up,” his first single from his debut album “Trouble.” His second album, “Konvicted,” earned him a Grammy Award nomination for the single "Smack That."

In his upcoming second concert, he is expected to sing his hits from his third album, “Freedom.” Filipino international performer Billy Crawford will be Akon’s special guest.
