  "account": "Renowned British-American sitarist Anoushka Shankar has announced an unexpected performance at the Temple of Fine Arts in Kuala Lumpur, following the cancellation of her original scheduled show at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The impromptu event is set to take place at 8pm and is strictly limited to tickets originally purchased for the cancelled show. Due to the venue's smaller capacity, Shankar has urged attendees to arrive early to secure their spots. She expressed gratitude to the Temple of Fine Arts, local sitarist Kumar Karthigesu, and her band and crew for their assistance in making the event happen. Shankar had initially revealed that the cancellation was due to unforeseen circumstances, and assured fans that all ticket holders would receive full refunds.",
  "summary": "The sitarist says seats are strictly limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to valid ticket holders of the original performance only.",
