The Black Eyed Peas' upcoming concert in Malaysia has been opened to Muslims after the country's government reversed a ban preventing them from attending the show.

The Boom Boom Pow hitmakers are due to perform at a theme park in Kuala Lumpur on 25 September (09) as part of Irish alcohol giant Guinness' 250th anniversary concerts.But because the gig is sponsored by the drinks company, officials placed a ban on Muslims attending as Islamic law prohibits the consumption of alcohol.An official at the Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture previously said, Muslims cannot attend. Non-Muslims can go and have fun.Now the decision has been reversed and Muslims will be allowed to watch the Where Is the Love? stars perform - although no explanation has been given for the U-turn.
