Singer Salman Ahmad’s superlative singing skills have not just impressed Pakistanis but have also managed to win a global fan following. She is the Academy Award-winning rock singer, Melissa Etheridge.
The singer was invited by Melissa Etheridge to visit the US and perform for them in New Jersey on 10th December.
The Junoon singer welcomed the invitation with open arms and tweeted back, expressing his desire to perform worldwide.
This is not the first interaction between the two. The two rock stars met at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo 2007. They have co-written the song ‘Ring the Bells’ which Melissa featured in her 2008 album Merry Christmas.
The Grammy winner has also written the introduction to Salman Ahmed’s book Rock & Roll Jihad where she says, “The story you are about to read is the story of a light-bringer… Salman Ahmad inspires me to reach always for the greatest heights and never to fear….Know that his story is a part of our history.”
Previously, Salman cancelled a scheduled appearance at a cultural event in Goa, India due to rising Indian belligerence along the Line of Control (LoC).
