Black Eyed Peas show is sponsored by beer giant
Muslims in Malaysia have been barred from attending a concert by US hip-hop band the Black Eyed Peas, as it is sponsored by Guinness, which is owned by the world's biggest spirits group Diageo.
The move comes after a Malaysian Islamic court sentenced a 32-year-old Muslim woman to be caned after she was caught drinking beer in a hotel and at a time when an opposition Islamic party has moved against beer sales.
