In a heartfelt gesture following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, celebrated Indian singer Arijit Singh has cancelled his upcoming concert in Chennai.

The announcement was made on Thursday through an official Instagram statement by the event organisers. The message stated that both the organisers and the artist came to a mutual decision to cancel the concert in light of the somber national mood.

“In light of the recent and tragic events, the organisers along with the artist have collectively made the decision to cancel the upcoming show scheduled to happen in Chennai this Sunday, April 27th,” the post read.

The statement also assured full refunds to all ticket holders. “All ticket holders will receive full refunds, and the amount will be automatically refunded back to your original mode of payment,” the organisers confirmed.
