Pop singer Kelly Clarkson announced Thursday that her Israel concerts will be cancelled due to a throat illness. Major sponsor of the concerts Partner Telecom (owner of Orange Israel) is expected to suffer a heavy loss as a result.
Clarkson, who enjoys immense popularity in Israel, has already cancelled a Paris concert, and held a short concert in Berlin on Wednesday. Her doctors, however, instructed her to cease from any singing activities because her condition has worsened.
The cancelled concert is expected to cause Partner Telecom heavy losses estimated at several million shekels. The company invested approximately $400,000, in a massive advertising campaign as part of its marketing policy.
Another investment Partner had made was in tickets at a significant price reduction for its customers. All tickets were sold out several hours after sales began. Partner emphasized that all ticket buyers will be fully refunded.
Clarkson is the first winner of the U.S. reality TV show American Idol. After winning she quickly became one of the most popular singers in the U.S. and around the world.
