International: Because of the brutal terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, music artists across India are cancelling their shows and appearances.
On April 22, in broad daylight, terrorists attacked Kashmir's famous tourist spot, that is Pahalgam. The terrorist brutally killed around 27-28 innocent people. After this incident took place, the entertainment industry in India is taking a collective pause.
Renowned singer Shreya Ghoshal is another one of the most recent to act. Her Surat concert, part of her All Hearts Tour, was called off following the attack; the concert was scheduled to be held on Saturday at the Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Indoor Stadium. A joint statement by Ghoshal and the event organisers was shared on Instagram: “In light of the recent and tragic events, the organizers, along with the artist, have collectively made the decision to cancel the upcoming show scheduled to happen in Surat this Saturday, April 26th.” They assured fans that “all ticket holders will receive full refunds, and the amount will be automatically refunded back to your original mode of payment.”
