I would never set out to offend or desecrate anyone’s religion or  religious beliefs.  I myself am a spiritual man, so I can understand why  they are offended, but violence is never the answer and I am  disheartened to hear about what happened in Sri Lanka,” Akon said in his  statement.         Meanwhile Entertainment Weekly also quoted American Talent Agency, the  booking company responsible for the concert as saying that due to the  recent events that transpired in Sri Lanka, they had decided to  “postpone” Akon’s upcoming show.          “We are working diligently with the local promoters to ensure the  safety of both our talent and the fans before committing to a new date.  Akon is looking forward to performing for the people of Sri Lanka and we  hope to have this situation resolved in the coming weeks,” the agency  said.dailymirror</blockquote>
