Rihanna to cover up for Malaysian concert
Barbadian R&B star Rihanna has promised to cover up for her Kuala Lumpur concert on February 13th to adhere to the Malaysian on-stage dress code, of which a female performer must be covered from shoulders to knees.
Taking lesson from last year’s Avril Lavigne’s concert which was almost cancelled because her show was deemed too sexy, the organiser of Rihanna’s concert is fast to act on the issue before any conservative protest could heat up.
Rihanna’s KL concert, which is part of the Good Girl Gone Bad world tour, will be held at Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on Feb 13. Refer to the above poster for ticketing details.
[Update] The concert is postponed indefinitely following reports that she was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown.
