Dominican Republic bans Miley gig on morality grounds
A Miley Cyrus concert in the Dominican Republic has been banned on morality grounds.
The government commission that oversees public performances is outlawing the September 13 performance.
It said it took the action because Cyrus often “undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law”.
Tickets ranging from $27 to $370 for the concert in the capital have been on sale since last month.
A representative for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Concert organisers in the Dominican Republic did not comment on the ban.
The commission in the past has banned songs it considers vulgar from the airwaves, including some by Calle 13 of Puerto Rico.
