Beyonce Told To Tone Down Malaysian Concert

(andPOP) - BEYONCE KNOWLES is the latest western artist to be warned to tone down her stage show when she performs in Malaysia later this year (07).

Students in the predominantly Muslim country threatened to boycott a recent concert Gwen Stefani performed in the south east Asian nation, because of her raunchy reputation.

Now Knowles' concert organisers have told her to cover up onstage when she performs there in November - just days after she accidentally flashed her chest at a gig in Toronto, Canada.

Razlan Ahmad Razali, the chairman of Pineapple Concerts, says, "We've informed Beyonce's management about this issue of clothes, but it takes some of the fun out of it.

"Beyonce won't be able to do the kind of show here that she does elsewhere. "She's a fashion icon, and we know that she often wears miniskirts and clothes that expose her navel during her performances. It's a pity to restrict her, because her costumes are all tasteful and glamorous." (IG/WNWCSO/ES)
