    MUMBAI: Pop star Justin Bieber has cancelled the India leg of his ‘Justice World Tour’ owing to health concerns, promoters BookMyShow said Thursday.

    The development comes three months after Bieber announced that he was diagnosed with the Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, which had caused him partial facial paralysis.

    The 28-year-old Grammy winner, who was set to perform in New Delhi on October 18 as part of ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour’, had said on June 15 that he was putting a pause on his world tour due to illness.

    A spokesperson for BookMyShow, the Indian producers of the tour, said they are “extremely disappointed” about the concert being called off.

    “We are extremely disappointed to share that the ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour India’ scheduled for October 18th, 2022 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi has been cancelled owing to the singer’s health concerns.

    “We have just been informed that due to health concerns, he will unfortunately not be able to make it next month,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

    The New Delhi gig would have marked Bieber’s second visit to India post his 2017 Purpose World Tour. Due to the cancellation of the ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour India’, the spokesperson said the company would refund the ticket amount to people.

    BookMyShow has already initiated a full and complete refund of the ticket amount for all consumers who had purchased tickets for the show.

    “The complete refund will be reflected within 10 working days in the customer’s source account of the original transaction. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused but we promise, there is a lot more music and live entertainment coming your way, soon,” they said.

    MUMBAI: IPL’s ticketing partner BookMyShow on Friday said that audience capacity for the current season has been increased to 50 per cent from April 6.

    The Maharashtra government had initially allowed 25 per cent crowds at all the four venues – Wankhede stadium, Brabourne stadium in Mumbai, DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Gahunje in Pune.

    “Ticket sales for the next set of matches are live even as the BCCI has announced an increase in stadium occupancy to 50%, which was earlier capped at 25% thereby extending the opportunity for many more fans across India and beyond to experience the IPL action live in the stadia,” BookMyShow claimed in a media release.

    The Maharashtra government had on Thursday decided to do away with all the COVID restrictions, from April 2 in the entire state.
