Beyonce asked to cover up

Washington (ANI): R & B singer Beyonce Knowles has been asked to cover herself when she performs in Malaysia this year in November. Organizers have taken the decision keeping in mind the furious students of the Muslim country who threatened to boycott a concert performed by artist Gwen Stefani because of her indecent reputation. “We've informed Beyonce's management about this issue of clothes, but it takes some of the fun out of it," Contactmusic quoted, Razlan Ahmad Razali, the chairman of Pineapple Concerts, as saying.

Now, she has been informed by the concert organizers to wear a decent outfit, after looking at her concert in Toronto, where she flashed her chest unintentionally. The Grammy Award winner is well acclaimed for her solo albums like Dangerously in Love, B"day and her breathtaking live performances. But, the 25-year-old will have to restrict her way of performing this time. "She's a fashion icon, and we know that she often wears miniskirts and clothes that expose her navel during her performances. It's a pity to restrict her, because her costumes are all tasteful and glamorous," Razali said.
