Guru Randhawa shares pictures from ‘historic Vancouver show’, thanks fans for love and support
After a physical altercation following his concert in Vancouver, Canada, pop sensation Guru Randhawa, hailing from Punjab, faced a disturbing incident where a fellow Punjabi man struck him on the face, resulting in four stitches on his right eyebrow. Following his return to India after concluding his concert tour in the US and Canada, initial reports suggested that Randhawa had decided to abstain from performing in Canada in the future.
However, it appears that the “High Rated Gabru” singer has had a change of heart. On Wednesday, Randhawa posted pictures from what he referred to as his “Historic VANCOUVER show” and expressed gratitude, stating, “This was the Historic VANCOUVER show we did where the incident took place. And yes, I will see you all soon ❤️ Thanks Vancouver for your love and support.” He went on to thank everyone who stood by him and showered him with love in the aftermath of the unfortunate incident, saying, “And thanks to everyone who’s shown so much love from all over the world after the incident.”
The assault occurred during the last leg of Randhawa’s nine-city tour in the US and Canada. The incident prompted widespread attention on social media, with numerous Twitter users sharing a photo of the singer bleeding. In response, Guru Randhawa’s team issued a statement providing details of the incident:
“Guru is back in India with four stitches on his right eyebrow and mega-successful USA/Canada tour. The incident happened on 28th July in Vancouver when Guru told one Punjabi man not to come on stage while he was performing for the audience. That man was trying to come on stage again and again and then he started fighting with everyone backstage. He was known to the local promoter Surinder Sanghera who sent him away during the show. But at the end when Guru finished the show and was leaving the stage, that Punjabi man came and hit him hard on his face with a punch, because of which Guru started bleeding on the spot from his forehead above the eyebrow and went back to stage and showed it to the audience.”
Well-wishing messages for a speedy recovery poured in from fellow singers such as Gippy Grewal, Mika Singh, Harshdeep Kaur, and others. Despite this unfortunate incident, Guru Randhawa, known for his chart-topping tracks like “High Rated Gabru,” “Patola,” and “Ban Ja Rani,” has continued to make a mark in the music industry, having recently achieved international success with his track “Slowly Slowly” featuring Pitbull. His contributions extend to composing and singing for Bollywood films, including Hindi Medium, Tumhari Sulu, Dil Juunglee, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and Blackmail.
