Bryan Adams Mumbai Concert Controversy: Bryan Adams, the iconic rock legend behind timeless songs like 'Summer Of 69', 'Everything I Do', and 'All For Love' to name a few, recently marked his return to India after 6 years with 'So Happy It Hurts Tour 2024'. The singer recently took over Mumbai with his highly-energetic live show. But the concert is now trending on the internet for not so good reasons.

Bryan Adams Mumbai Concert: Diabetic Man Slams Zomato CEO After He Peed His Pants

The 64-year-old rock star Bryan Adams performed at Mumbai's Nesco last Friday on 13th December 2024. While it was one-of-a-kind experience for many, Bryan Adams' live Mumbai concert became a nightmare for a Mumbai-based entrepreneur named Sheldon Aranjo, who claims to be diabetic.

It all happened when Sheldon attended the live concert after he peed his pants during the show due to incontinence issues, alleging inadequate washroom facilities. Sheldon slammed Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and the head of EVA Global Events (the event organizers of the live concert) for 'utter mismanagement'.

Bryan Adams So Happy It Hurts Tour 2024: Sheldon Aranjo's Viral LinkedIn Post

Mumbai-based Sheldon Aranjo, who has 20+ years of experience in the media and entertainment industry, took to LinkedIn and penned a lengthy note in which he talked about his harrowing experience at Bryan Adams' Mumbai concert.

In the viral post, Sheldon wrote, "here's an open letter to Deepinder Goyal and the head of EVA Global Events.

Executive summary::
I PAID to PEE (in my pants) at the Bryan Adams concert.

Shocked? you should be. please read on.

While the flow of traffic into the concert was fine, the chilled Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre ensured that my bladder flow was just as good.

So i made a bee line to the loo. Only to see a serpentine queue! i knew i would NEVER be able to hold that long. So i was advised to go to the other end of the pavilion!

I (literally) had to hold on to dear life (and assets) till i crossed over to the other side.

Only to find out that i cannot get into the loo meant for the "other category". i had a Gold ticket.

So I made a dash for the nearest tree (which meant dodging a few well meaning security guards as well)

Finally, i managed to empty and "release" the pressure (but not before soiling my pants!) - pls see pic as proof. (sic)"

He added, "I am NOT ashamed to say that I am a diabetic with continence issues.

You guys should be ashamed for providing ~3 loos / 1000 people.

I'm guessing this is EVA Global Events first big concert?

On my second trip to the loo while hashtag#VidhyaVox was warming up the crowd, I heard many other guests complaining about the amateur management of the concert, especially:
1. Long queues at the loos
2. The food stalls
3. Unnecessary queue to load cash onto the event invite in the era of hashtag#UPI (cash/card only!!)

Thankfully hashtag#BryanAdams managed to save what would have become a rather forgetful evening!

This is NOT a rant. Its a CRY for help.

Please get your sh%t together before bringing down international artists and charging us money to be treated to your learning curve. It seems, you guys are in a hurry to launch event companies and flip them.

OK. Pee-ce be with you! (sic)"
