Ali Zafar has cancelled his New Year music concert after the harrowing school attack in Peshawar.
The Pakistani singer said that he decided to cancel his concert in Durban, South Africa, as he wouldn't be able to bring himself to celebrate or entertain at the time when people in his homeland were so severely affected, the Tribune reported.
The 'Kill Dill' actor explained that since no one had been able to forget the massacre that happened just a few days ago, his fans would be able to understand his mental situation and his decision.
Earleir, it was reported that there were many other musicians like Sajjad Ali, band members of Qayaas, Fuzon, Asrar, who had cancelled their performances in the wake of the attack.
