Avril Lavigne's forthcoming concert in Malaysia has been cancelled after an Islamic opposition party deemed her show “too sexy”.
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said the gig, which was scheduled for August 29th, would promote the wrong values ahead of the country's independence day.
After considering the party's opposition, The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry agreed that the show was unsuitable.
All concerts that take place in Malaysia are subject to strict guidelines which are imposed to uphold the values of the Muslim religion.
Last year, Gwen Stefani was forced to cover up during her performance in the country after student protesters publicly opposed her concert.
