Tamara Milutinovic Cancels Krusevac Concert Over Health
In a written message, the singer said her health keeps her from attending the charity concert at the Sports Hall in Krusevac, and that she will help another way.
Singer Tamara Milutinovic has said in a written message that she will not perform at the charity concert at the Sports Hall in Krusevac. She gave her health as the reason. She did not disclose a diagnosis or the nature of her condition.
The message was posted in parts, and it opens with a sentence that leaves no room for speculation. “With deep regret, I am forced to inform you that I am unable to appear at the charity concert at the Sports Hall in Krusevac,” the singer wrote.
What did Tamara Milutinovic say?
The rest of the message explains why she pulled out and how hard she tried to make it to the stage:
I did everything I could to get back on my feet, but at this moment I am aware that my health is such that there is truly no realistic chance of me coming, let alone singing.
The message ends with a promise that the charity effort will not be left without her. “I will make my contribution outside of this concert,” Tamara Milutinovic said, adding a praying hands emoji.
The parts of the message that have been published do not say what form her help will take. They also give no date for the concert. None of the texts we read says when it takes place or whether it has already happened, and the cancellation is reported as something the singer announced to the public, with no time attached.
What has she said before about charity work?
Tamara Milutinovic recently sang at a charity concert for her colleague Biljana Vesovic, who is battling a serious illness. In an interview with Telegraf, whose date the source does not give, she said she often answers charity appeals but does not like to talk about it:
Very often, but I don’t like to talk about it much, I mostly just post on my social media so that we can reach as many people and raise as much money as possible. I respond when I can, of course, when I’m in Serbia and not working. This week we have three charity concerts.
On the same occasion she said that public figures have a place in raising funds. “There should be more talk about it, because who will do it if not public figures, so that more money can be raised,” she told Telegraf, adding that she still prefers to give help in private.
Help does not always have to be money. Asked what she does with clothes she has worn once or a few times, she answered:
I do that often, both for my relatives and for people who need it. I get messages on Instagram too, and I recently gave my daughter’s things to a single mother.
Does she know Biljana Vesovic?
She does not, and she said so plainly. “Unfortunately, no. Maybe we met at some celebrations or performances, but we don’t know each other. I believe that as much money as she needs will be raised,” Tamara Milutinovic told Telegraf.
For now, the only thing known is what she wrote herself: the Krusevac performance is off because of her health, and her contribution to the cause will come outside the concert. What that contribution will look like, the singer has not said.
