Kiss Concert No-go in Serbia

Serbian Kiss fans are greatly disappointment upon finding out that the concert have been canceled. This is due to the political strife in the Balkan country, says official sources. Political tensions are high on the scale in the Balkan region after Kosovo was declared independent.

The world famous rockers were set to perform in the capital city of Belgrade on May 15 as part of their European tour. Alas that was not to be as their concert organizers have announced that their show will be canceled and that fans will be given a refund. An official statement was released: “The members of the band regret to inform you that the concert has to be cancelled, but the situation in Serbia does not leave them much choice. However, they hope they will perform in Serbia on some other occasion.” This translates to the band promising to be back in Serbia as they currently feel that their safety will be compromised right after the recent elections were held in February.

Van Halen and his band have decided to begin its tour with a performance on April 19 at Las Vegas, a charity concert for Tiger Woods’ Tiger Jam charity event that is done annually. The tour programmer for Van Halen and his band said that all the tickets purchased for the cancelled programs will stand valid for the rescheduled music concerts.

Van Halen will be performing all through the US in his rescheduled itinerary that runs from the middle of April through to the 2nd of June. Van Halen had postponed some shows citing no reason and the fans were dejected about the postponement. Later, it was revealed that the postponement was due to some medical tests that the lead man Edie Van Halen had to undergo for an undisclosed illness. Van Halen has been in the news some years ago for substance abuse, alcoholism and also had to undergo treatment for cancer. The last road show by Van Halen with David Lee Roth, who performed in concerts after more than two decades, was one of the highest tour grosser’s of 2007.
