Moreover, a special act is being considered where all three will pay homage to victims of the recent Kerala floods. The concerts will take place in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and New Delhi on 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 October respectively, although, Priyanka and Rahman will be only performing in Mumbai and Delhi, apart from one other city in the tour line-up, the source added. The Canadian musician, known for his signature brand of feel-good rock and roll and big ballads like “(Everything I do) I do it for you”, “Summer of ‘69” and “Please forgive me”, is on tour to promote his new compilation album, Ultimate, which comprises two new songs “Please Stay” and “Ultimate Love.” Featuring a total of 21 tracks, the album was released via USM/Polydor Records in November last year.
