It's a huge shock for the fans of music. Maestro Ilaiyaraja has apparently sent a Legal notice to Veteran Singer and his long time friend SP Balasubramaniam against singing the songs composed by him.

Singers SPB, Chithra, SPB Charan and others are currently taking part in a music concert in various locations in the USA.

SPB in his Facebook post has revealed that Ilaiyaraja has sent a legal notice under the Copyrights act against SPB, Chithra and Charan.

As a result, the multilingual singer has announced that henceforth, he will not sing any song composed by Ilaiyaraja in anywhere. He has urged the readers to not have any harsh discussions on the subject. As a Karmayogi, SPB has left it to the sweet will of God!

Below is the Facebook post the legendary singer has written:

Dear all, Greetings from US. Had great shows in Seattle and LA last weekend. Grateful for the love you all showered upon us and the profesdional way the organizers conducted the shows.

Couple of days back, an Attorney representing Shri.Iliaya Raja, sent legal notices to me, Smt.Chithra, Charan, organisers of the concerts in different cities and the managements of all the venues, which says that we are not supposed to perform compositions of Shri.Iliayaraja without his permission, if so, it is breaking the copyright law and have to pay huge financial penalities and face legal action. Let me say, I am ignorant of these legalities.

My Son designed this world tour and wekick started this SPB50 conncert tour in August in Toranto, then we performed in Russia, Srilanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and did lots of shows in India too. I did not get any feelers from Shri. Raja's office at that time. I dont know why now when we started our US tour. As I said earlier, I am ignorant of the law. If it is a law, so be it and I obey it. In these circumstances, our troupe can not perform Isaijnani's compositions from to day. But the show should happen.By God's grace I have sung lots of other composer's songs too which we will present. Hope you all will bless our concerts as usual. I am always grateful for your love and affection.

I only request you all not to have any harsh opinions and discussions regarding this. If this is the design of God, I obey it with reverence.

Sarvejanah Sukhinobhavanthu.
