Carey ‘yes’ to Feb 20 date

BY RENEE CHOONG

PETALING JAYA: American pop diva Mariah Carey has consented to her concert in Kuala Lumpur to be held on Feb 20, saying that it will fit in with her world tour in the region.

Carey will kick off her concert in the region in Jakarta on Feb 15 followed by Bangkok before arriving in Kuala Lumpur on Feb 19.

According to concert organiser Galaxy Production's spokesman Eric Chen, Carey told him that “this will make my plans fit in nicely with the itinerary.”

Carey agreed to the new date after her concert in Beijing was cancelled.

“When Mariah's concert in Beijing which was slated for Feb 20 was cancelled, we acted on it to take over the date and she agreed,” said Chen yesterday.

He also said the new date would be good news to her fans.

“We received a lot of calls at our ticketing office two weeks ago asking for the date to be moved to Friday so that outstation fans have ample time to travel back to their hometowns.”

“An Intimate Evening with Mariah Carey – Charmbracelet World Tour” kicked off last June.

Chen said ticket-holders who could not accommodate the new date must get a full refund by Sunday.
