KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 — American singer-songwriter Maggie Lindemann who had a show here on June 21 has finally come out about her abrupt disappearance for the past two weeks.
Best known as the singer of Pretty Girl, the 20-year-old took to her social media accounts yesterday disclosing that she had been “arrested and confined in living hell” for five days in Malaysia.
“I want to start off by saying I’m sorry to the fans that came out to the Malaysia show on the 21st.
“For reasons I can’t go into right now, I was detained and arrested mid-way through my set and spent the next 5 days confined in a living hell,” she posted on her Instagram account, where she has 3.7 million followers, as well as her Twitter account, which has 490,000 followers.
She then apologised to the rest of her Asian fans who had bought tickets to her show, saying she will not be able to complete the tour.
