Canadian singer Avril Lavigne in March 2012 issue of FHM Australia Magazine – which seems surprisingly conservative, at least for this photoset. The styling makes her looks old on the cover, no complain about the rest of the pics. Image via Magxone…

Avril Lavigne’s KL concert is back on
It’s official, Avril’s KL Concert is on. The Malaysian authority has changed their mind with the earlier decision to bar the Canadian pop star from performing in Kuala Lumpur on August 29th.
Avril has told MTV earlier that the concert will go ahead as planned; and there were other sources hinting that Galaxy Group, the concert promoter, has successfully appeal to the initial ban. It has now been officially confirmed that the show will go on.
Earlier this week, Malaysian authority made the call to bar Avril from performing as scheduled, stating that the concert is unsuitable for Malaysian culture, particularly not when the country is celebrating independence day on August 31.
The decision echoed the call from an Islamic opposition party for the show to be scrapped, that the show is considered too sexy for Malaysians and would promote the wrong values as Malaysia’s independence day is looming near.
It’s almost deja vu for Malaysians… as the authority had barred Indonesian singer Inul Daratista from performing in 2008 following similar protest. Luckily for Avril’s fans, Galaxy has managed to appeal for the concert to run as planned.
Do mind that Malaysians in general are not that conservative; in fact lots of the Muslims are quite liberal in these kind of matters. Unfortunately the men that make the initial decision were not quite as open minded… glad that the final decision makers are showing more sense.
Avril Lavigne live in Malaysia 2008
Canadian pop-rocker Avril Lavigne is coming to Kuala Lumpur for a live concert at the Merdeka Stadium on August 29 as part of her Best Damn Tour. Hat tip to Hotlink for the promo image.
I used to like her a lot, if she came here a few years ago I would get a ticket straight away. Not as fanatic these days though, will have to think about it. Considering her popularity in this region, the nice seats should sell out pretty soon. I have to make a decision real fast LoL.
Avril’s world tour will kick start on August 1 in Pennsylvania, USA. Malaysia is her first stop in Asia, other Asian countries in the tour include the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and China.
There are 11 concerts in Japan, more than USA and Canada combined (10). I know she’s popular there but it’s still a bit surprising. She has stated a few times that she’s a fan of Japanese culture though.
