receives 4 stitches,
says won't ever
perform in Canada
Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa, who
was attacked in Vancouver after a live
performance at Queen Elizabeth Theater,
has received four stitches on his right
eyebrow and is now back in India.

about the singer, and also shared a
photograph that shows the singer with
a bandage on his eyebrow.
"Guru is back in India with four
stitches on his right eyebrow and a megasuccessful
USA/Canada tour. The incident
happened on July 28 in Vancouver when
Guru told a Punjabi man not to come on
stage, while he was performing for the
audience. That man was trying to come on
stage again and again and then he started
fighting with everyone backstage. He was
known to the local promoter Surinder
Sanghera, who sent him away during the
show," the caption read.
The post read that the singer is "home
now feeling safe in India". "He said
he won't ever perform in Canada for
the rest of his life. Guru said his Guru
Nanak Devji has saved him and prayed to
Waheguru to give that man a good sense of

"We are saddened that a series of
unforeseen setbacks has made it
impossible to put on the festival we
imagined with the great lineup we
had booked and the social engagement
we were anticipating," Michael Lang,
co-founder of Woodstock, said in the
statement.
"We released all the talent so any
involvement on their part would
be voluntary," Lang added. "Due to
conflicting radius issues in the DC area
many acts were unable to participate and
others passed for their own reasons."
