Kelly Clarkson Concert Goes On Without Sponsor

Posted on Apr 26, 2010 under Alicia Keys, Concert, Kelly Clarkson | No Comment

Kelly Clarkson’s controversial Indonesia concert will go on without a sponsor. The American Idol alum’s April 29th concert was supposed to be sponsored by cigarette brand LA Lights but after reaching an agreement with the brand’s parent company Djarum , promoter Adrie Subono told the Associated Press that “there will be no [L.A. Lights] media promotion at the Kelly Clarkson concert”. ABC News notes that Alicia Keys was involved in a similar predicament two years ago when she learned that her show in Indonesia was sponsored by a Philip Morris affiliate. The singer insisted that the logo be removed from her promotional materials and performed the show once it was free of the cigarette sponsorship.

He said: “We’re doing a telethon on all the channels, every network in the country and international as well. It’s an unbelievable show. Bono’s written a song for it and songs are going to available on iTunes that night.

“People in Haiti have absolutely nothing. There are times when, as bad as it is for many people in this country, people also realise how much worse it is for them and they are very compassionate.”
