Chris Brown pulls out of Guyana show

TIMES INT'L

Hits and Jams Entertainment on Wednesday afternoon issued a statement on its Facebook page confirming that R&B star Chris Brown has pulled out of his scheduled Boxing Day concert in Guyana following continued protests against him.
Protests in Guyana and around the world have centred on the fact that he was convicted of battering his now former girlfriend Rihanna.
Local activists had argued that his going to Guyana would have been an inappropriate signal considering the high levels of domestic violence in the country. Brown still needs court permission for travel abroad as he is on probation.
Over the weekend, the singer’s performance in Europe was smeared with widespread protests. His team appears to be making efforts to avoid similar protests. His management team has indicated that they remain interested in having the singer perform in Guyana but just not at this time under the current circumstances.
Hits and Jams Entertainment said it intends to still host the “Unforgettable II” show on December 26 but with a different headline act. Already negotiations have started with a number of leading American R&B artistes and we will keep the media and the public up-to-date with the developments.
