Chris De Burgh to play historic Iran gig
PRS member Chris De Burgh is to play a groundbreaking concert in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
The Irish-born singer has a devoted following in Iran and will perform with the Iranian band Arian at the 12,000-capacity Azadi Indoor Stadium in Tehran in November 2008.
The gig marks the first time since the 1979 Iranian revolution that a Western star has performed alongside an Iranian pop band in Iran. Western pop songs with lyrics are banned in the Middle Eastern state.
