The Persian vocalist Homayoun Shajarian has cancelled sold-out concerts in Gothenburg and Stockholm on November 2, 4 and 5th.

Having expressed support for the women’s protest movement, he was placed under restrictions on his return home from Australia.

Although these contraints have been lifted he now says he cannot travel abroad ‘due to the unpleasant situation’. He adds: ‘I apologize to all the loved ones who bought tickets to attend these concerts with their love and affection.’
