EVEN with more than 30 years’ experience in the industry, singer Anuar Zain admitted he is still nervous about performing at large-scale concerts, Kosmo! reported.

Anuar, whose real name is Shahrul Anuar Zain, said his biggest worry was whether his concerts would be filled with fans.

The 48-year-old hoped there would still be fans who appreciate live performances.

Anuar, who is scheduled to perform at a concert with Indonesian singers Bunga Citra Lestari and Yuka Karisma by the end of April, said he is looking forward to positive responses from fans.

“I am confident that with the support from Bunga, Yuka and my fans, the concert will be a success,” he said.
