Elton John’s letter to Turkey

“I’m looking forward to my Antalya concert”

World-famous British singer and song writer Elton John sent a letter to EXPO 2016 Antalya Agency informing that he would be attending his upcoming concert on September 9th.

John wanted to share his feelings about the events after July 15th coup attempt. He wrote an e-mail to EXPO officials stating that he felt grief about what had taken place; that he reckoned that was a sinister attempt to disturb democracy and freedom. He wrote: “I know Turkey from my previous concerts. These events won’t put any shadow on what has done so far for good. I am looking forward to take the stage for my concert at EXPO 2016 Antalya. That would be a huge pleasure for me.”

WHAT HAPPENED WAS JUST A “HEADACHE”

John said that he knew Turkey well from his previous engagements and describing the events as a “headache”. He said he was well aware that events were deliberately perpetrated to disturb atmosphere of freedom and democracy in Turkey. But that won’t put any shadow to beauty and goodness of this country, he stressed. He broke the good news that he would be attending his planned concert in Antalya with great pleasure.
