Avril Lavigne's concert on

3 months ago 25th Aug 13:15

Avril Lavigne's Malaysian concert will go ahead.

It was reported yesterday that the 'Girlfriend' singer had cancelled this week's show in Kuala Lumpur following protests from Islamic groups who felt she was "too sexy", but she says it is going ahead because she doesn't want to disappoint her fans.

She told MTV News: "Well, I've actually been approved by the government to play a show.

"I've already sold 10,000 tickets there, so I will be going to put on a concert for the fans.

"They tend to sometimes not want Western artists in their country. I respect that, but at the same time there's people that listen to music there and want to see their idols and stuff, so it's all good: been approved by the government and I'm going to go put on a show and have fun."

Avril must now adhere to strict rules that require all performers to be covered from chest to knees without clothing containing obscene or drug-related images.
