Aznavour concert ends in whistle scandal

The latest concert by the world-renowned French-Armenian singer and musician Charles Aznavur ended in a scandal as the audience started hissing loudly, demanding back the money paid for the tickets. 

Le Parisien reports that the ticket cost 45 Euros which the spectators had paid for listening only to five songs (of which two were duets).

The concert, dedicated to the 100th birthday of Charles Trene, the popular French singer and songwriter, was held in the city of Narbonne where the musician was born.

The French publication reports that spectators chanted calls for refunding the price of the tickets.

Other French sources claim the problem was caused by a misunderstanding. The notice on the tickets reportedly said the last superstar of the French music art, Charles Aznavor, was going to give a concert, but the announced event later turned out to be just a performance with several young beginners.

Aznavour said in a subsequent statement that he can organize another concert, adding that the recent event was just a tribute of respect to Trene.

The authorities in the French city have promised to give compensation to the spectators.
