Morissette cancels Oct. 3 Jakarta concert<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Canadian pop singer Alanis Morissette has become the
\nlatest international star to cancel a concert in Indonesia due to
\nsecurity fears, promoters said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Morissette was due to perform on Sunday in Jakarta but pulled
\nout following a U.S. travel advisory Sept. 3 warning of possible
\nterror attacks in Indonesia, concert promoter Rini Noor told the
\nlocal television station Metro TV.<\/p>\n
Six days after the advisory was issued, a suicide bombing
\noutside the Australian Embassy killed nine people and injured
\nmore than 170.<\/p>\n
The attack prompted American rhythm and blues singer Alicia
\nKeys and British violin act Bond to cancel their concerts in
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
Some groups, however, have ignored the warnings in recent
\nweeks and played in the capital, including British boy-band Blue
\nand German rock group Scorpions.<\/p>\n
Morissette, whose songs have often dealt with failed
\nrelationships and include Ironic and You Oughta Know, has won
\nseveral Grammys, including album of the year for 1995's Jagged
\nLittle Pill.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old singer is touring with her new record So
\nCalled Chaos. -- AP<\/p>",
