Beyonce gets the nod to perform Caribbean gig

Beyonce Knowles has been granted permission to perform at a concert in Trinidad and Tobago after facing few official hiccups.

The R&B lady is due to kick start her I Am... world tour to the Caribbean country on February 18.

But her plans were threatened after show organisers failed to apply for a permit in time, reports the Daily Star.

The organisers were said to have missed their deadline to apply for a noise variation permit from the country's Environmental Management Agency and sent in their papers seven days late.

But EMA chiefs gave the concert team the green light after ensuring the regulations to advertise the gig in advance and warn local residents about the concert were compiled with, the Trinidad and Tobago Express newspaper reported.
