Pakistani singer Malkoo’s name has been added to the exit control list (ECL), according to media reports, affecting his United Kingdom tour that was set to start on Wednesday.

Malik, who rose to fame after his hit song ‘Prisoner Number 804’, had a series of eight scheduled shows across Britain starting from June 19, with most of the tickets already sold out.

The singer was supposed to fly to Britain on Sunday (today), but reports said that he has not been granted permission to travel.

Malkoo’s shows were set to feature renowned artists like Sarah Altaf and Aima Farooq as supporting acts.

His first scheduled show was supposed to take place in High Wycombe on Wednesday, but it remains uncertain whether the event would go ahead as planned.
