Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan's tour to Canada has been postponed in light of the current diplomatic unrest between the two countries. The tour was scheduled to begin this month.
The promoter of the tour shared a note on social media to inform fans about the update and issued an apology for the inconvenience caused. They also stated that refund for tickets will be initiated and details about the same will be shared soon.
"We regret to inform you that Gurdas Maan's 'Akhiyaan Udeekdiyan' Canada tour, scheduled to take place this month, has been POSTPONED.

Gurdas Maan was scheduled to perform in four Canada cities between October 22 and 31.
India-Canada ties hit an all time low after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the "agents of the Indian government" in Sikh activist Hardeep Nijjar's killing. However, India rubbished his statement and also suspended visa services for their nationals, citing "security threats".
Last month, Punjabi singer Shankar Sahney also postponed his Canada tour amid the ongoing tension between India and Canada. He was scheduled to perform there in October, however, he stated that the environment in Canada is no longer suitable for any kind of performance.
