Lenny Kravitz' Manila concert cancelled

MANILA – The concert of the American rock singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz has been cancelled.

Kravitz was supposed to perform on March 24 at the Circuit Event Grounds in Makati City. However, this was cancelled “due to unforeseen scheduling issues,” according to a statement posted on the Grammy Award-winning artist’s Facebook page on Wednesday.

“Unfortunately, due to contractual scheduling conflicts beyond my control, I will not be able to come to Manila to perform. I have been looking forward to coming to play for my fans and I am deeply sorry that my concert had to be cancelled,” Kravitz said in the statement.

“My ability to come play for you all is a huge concern for me and while I am unable to confirm another time right now, I am looking forward to rescheduling so I can perform for you in Manila as soon as possible,” he added.

Those who bought tickets to Kravitz’ concert are asked to call TicketWorld to get a refund.

Kravitz is known for songs such as “Fly Away,” “Are You Gonna Go My Way,” “American Woman,” “I Belong to You” and “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over.”

Katy Perry brings spectacle to Super Bowl halftime

GLENDALE, Arizona - Katy Perry delivered a spectacular halftime show at the Super Bowl on Sunday assisted by special guests Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz.

Perry entered the field astride a giant, golden, robotic lion as she sang her hit "Roar" before Kravitz brought some rock guitar to a version of "I Kissed a Girl".

After Missy Elliott provided the crowd of over 70,000 with her own distinctive brand of hip-hop, including "Get Ur Freak On", Perry performed on a desert island, singing her hit "Teenage Dream" and "California Gurls".

The halftime show ended with another surprise as Perry was lifted 50 feet off the ground by a mechanical contraption and as she floated above the field singing "Firework", sparkling flames emerged from the construction.
