Pop diva Beyonce Knowles has announced that she will wear "appropriate" clothing for her show in Malaysia after Islamic extremists threatened to protest at the concert.The “Crazy in Love” singer’s scheduled concert in the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur on October 25 has been met with anger by extremists, who claim her revealing outfits and provocative stage routines are "immoral" and will corrupt young people.
But the 28-year-old star, who had to pull out of a concert in the country two years ago, has agreed to tone down her performance, meaning the concert can go ahead.
Show organiser Marctensia said all parties had reached an "amicable understanding".
"We are confident that the concert will once and for all silence international critics and put Malaysia back on track in presenting A-list international pop concerts in this region," said a spokesperson.
Earlier in August 2007, ‘No Doubt’ star Gwen Stefani was told to cover up for her Malaysian concert.
The flamboyant star wore "sober" outfits but called it a "major sacrifice". She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines for the show.
