Singer Peabo Bryson

Mr. Tran Thanh Tung - Director of My Thanh Advertising and Entertainment Company Limited, the organizer and implementer of the program, said: “We have planned the Peabo Bryson In the Spotlight program since the beginning of 2015 with high expectations that it would be well received by audiences in both cities: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. However, we regret that during the actual implementation process, many factors did not go as we expected. The program did not create an effect in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of tickets sold in the city was too small, forcing us to cancel the program on September 18. Therefore, we will only organize a single Peabo Bryson In the Spotlight music night at the National Convention Center in Hanoi on September 12.”

The Organizing Committee representative also shared that they will contact all audiences who have booked tickets for the concert in Ho Chi Minh City to apologize for the change, refund tickets and provide the most appropriate solutions.

Singers will perform at a concert honoring the late singer Peabo Bryson.

Previously, at the end of June, the organizers of the In The Spotlight program held a press conference to launch a show honoring the king of love songs, the artist who won two Grammy awards - Peabo Bryson.

Peabo Bryson is a male singer known as the King of Balladeers, an artist who won two Grammy Awards. His name is associated with the immortal duets he performed with pop divas, such as Tonight I celebrate my love with Roberta Flack; Beauty and the beast which helped make Celine Dion a big name later; A whole new world from Walt Disney's animated film Aladdin which held the number 1 position on the most prestigious US chart Billboard Hot 100 and is still the only song in Disney history to top this chart.

This time, in the In the Spotlight program in Vietnam, he will perform these immortal duets with three talented and energetic young female voices: Uyen Linh, Van Mai Huong and Duong Hoang Yen. These three female guest singers will join Peabo Bryson in recreating the beautiful memories, images and sounds that have accompanied Peabo Bryson's music for decades, and convey them to Vietnamese audiences in the most intimate way.

With the cancellation of the show in Ho Chi Minh City, In The Spotlight - Peabo Bryson will have only one show left in Hanoi, taking place at the National Convention Center in Hanoi on September 12.
