Ke$ha Will not Visit Japan During the Quake

By Vernell Sumbry


March 11's earthquake-induced Tsunami has not only impaired the lives of thousands and thousands of Japanese people, but the international and singers are also facing its after effects, as their scheduled tours and Concert events in the Asian powerhouse are all in tatters. The latest of those artists is Ke$ha, who announced yesterday that she is about to cancel her Japanese tour for the time being, as it would not be appropriate to continue with her plans at this time, both morally and commercially.

On her formal website, the R&B singer told that her ideas are with the suffering japanese , who have been forced to deal with the natural calamity. She said that due to the nature and lyrical content of her songs, which preaches 'wild attitude' and 'party all night' way of life, it would not be appropriate to stage her shows in the disaster-struck area at this moment. However, K-Dollar tried to raise the Japanese moral by saying that once they are back on their feet again, she would rearrange a tour , so that she could party wildly with her Japanese fans.

Ke$ha, who usually sports a carefree look in front of the camera for her music videos, gave her opposite personality by vowing that she will do everything in her power to organize charities and benefit functions, in order to provide relief to the emotionally and physically drained Japanese masses. Meanwhile, her North American tour will go ahead as previously planned.

Billboard reported that Ke$ha's Japanese tour promoter Creativeman Productions has also uncovered that its yearly spring musical events would not be taking place this time around, considering the situation in hand. The festival titled 'Springgroove' was scheduled to bring Flo Rida and Nelly to the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Osaka in early April. Similarly, the Punkspring festival was also scuppered for the same reason. The event would have featured Hoobastank and Good Charlotte as the main bands.

However, not everyone thinks alike, and that was proven by Ne-Yo, who decided against the in-fashion cancellations and performed in Nagoya last week. The organisers placed charity boxes and special wristbands, the proceeds from whose sales were to be forwarded to the earthquake relief program. Yo is expected to repeat this trick in his show later today, as well as on Thursday. His point being that music is a proven medium of spreading love and this is exactly what the Japanese need now, Yo claimed.Free Online Music

Also touring in Japan is Cyndi Lauper, who was in the country before it got hit by the earth-quake and subsequent Tsunami. The singer was on an album promotion trip in Japan when disaster struck and she has been informing her Tweeps all about her experiences through her Twitter account. She recently announced that all the sales proceed from her new collection 'Blues' would be going to the Japanese Red Cross.Free Online Music
