Come on! You are missing out!<\/strong><\/p>\n

US pop singer Ke$ha has been forced to cancel a concert due to take place in Malaysia<\/strong> today after authorities said it would undermine religious and cultural sensitivities.<\/p>\n

Livescape said it had received a letter from the authorities on the decision to ban the concert “at the 11th hour” on Friday, despite agreeing to “modify the show to suit the Malaysian culture and sensitivities”.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia said in a brief statement Friday that it had rejected the application for the concert on grounds that it “touches on religious sensitivities and cultural values of Malaysians”.<\/p>\n

Ke$ha’s MTV reality series “My Crazy Beautiful Life” has featured her bizarre behaviour in the past, including drinking her own urine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of her songs refer to sex and alcohol, which are considered taboo subjects by most Muslims.<\/p>\n

Livescape said it had made adjustments to Ke$ha’s song lyrics, wardrobe changes, and had modified a set list to specifically adhere to the category_idelines set forth by the authorities.<\/p>\n

Muslims make up 60 percent of multi-ethnic Malaysia’s 28 million people,<\/strong> while Christians account for about nine percent.<\/p>\n

But conservatives occasionally cry foul over concerts by Western artists whom they accuse of promoting promiscuity, corrupting young people or offending religious sensitivities, though most concerts usually go ahead.<\/p>\n

The best Ke$ha song right now!<\/strong>
