Lady Gaga’s manager Troy Carter said the pop star will not tone down
her act, even if that prevents her from performing in certain cities
during her Asian tour, the Associated Press reports.Â
Indonesian newspaper The Straits Times reported today that Carter said that Gaga is not “provocative for the sake of being provocative,” and that she “plays the show as it is.”Â
Carter’s statements come a week after Gaga was denied a permit
and forced to cancel a sold-out concert in Jakarta, Indonesia,
following protests from Islamic leaders and conservative politicians who
feared Gaga’s performance would corrupt the youth. With threats of
physical violence coming in, police said they were usure they’d be able
to guarantee safety and recommended that the permit for Gaga’s show be denied.
