The 70-year-old Ilaiyaraaja was hospitalised for a mild heart attack at Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India on Monday, putting doubt to the highly-anticipated concert at Merdeka Stadium scheduled to start at 8pm on Saturday.

But by about 3.30pm, the King of Kings Maestro Ilaiyaraaja live in Kuala Lumpur Facebook page posted a video of him conveying his apologies to fans for not being able to perform.
