Rumours have been flying thick and fast that the maiden India concert of Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, may be postponed due to the conflict in West Asia. The speculation gained momentum after Bahraini rapper Flipperachi cancelled his India tour that was scheduled to take place on March 14 and 15. However, sources in the organising team of West’s concert have dismissed the chatter.

A source from White Fox, the firm organising the event, told mid-day, “All operational timelines remain intact. We are in the final phase of execution, and ticket demand has been strong.” The source added that they are monitoring international developments as a precautionary measure.

British rock band Def Leppard, too, is expected to go ahead with its tour. An event executive associated with the show said, “International tours are always subject to global conditions, but as of now there is no change.”
