World Music Awards Postponed Over War Fears

The annual World Music Awards in Monaco have been rescheduled over fears of war with Iraq. Melissa Corken, the event’s executive producer, tells the New York Daily News that the date has been shifted from March 5th to April 24th. “It wasn’t just the artists who started having problems coming over, it was also my production team,” said Corken. “Nobody wanted to leave their families the first week of March with an imminent threat of war.”
