Parlotones postpone Sandton benefit show

The Parlotones fundraising performance at Pappas restaurant on the Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, scheduled for 27 August 2014, has been postponed, as the lead singer Kahn Morbee needs emergency surgery on his vocal cords.

A new date for the Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital Trust fundraiser will be announced, once he has recovered. All purchased/booked tickets are fully refundable.

"We would like to wish Kahn all the best with his surgery and recovery. As ambassadors, the band has been committed to lending its name to the cause and helping us raise funds towards the building of the hospital. We also thank all the music lovers that had already brought tickets to the performance," said Vuyo Lutseke, media liaison officer at the Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital Trust.

The other fundraising concert, taking place at the Nelson Mandela Square, by Mi Casa will go ahead as scheduled - on Wednesday 20 August at Hard Rock Cafe Johannesburg, and will include eats and some drinks - all proceeds from this performance will go to the hospital. Tickets are R500 each and are available at Computicket.
