Ikinansela ng international recording artist James Ingram ang nakatakda niyang panayam sa batikang host na si Boy Abunda.

Inanunsiyo ito ni Boy sa kanyang segment na "Ikaw Na" sa late-night news program ng ABS-CBN na Bandila, kagabi, Pebrero 15.

"He was supposed to be here, scheduled sa 'Ikaw Na,'" sabi ni Boy.

"Pero, dumating na po siya dito sa ABS-CBN nang maaga dahil he went around... I think sa radyo, at nag-promote ng kanyang concert the day after tomorrow.

"He couldn't wait because he was very tired, sa palagay ko."

BOY UNDERSTANDS. Bagamat nalungkot, sinabi ni Boy na nirerespeto niya ang naging desisyon ng mang-aawit na kanselahin ang appearance nito sa kanyang segment.

Inamin din ng host na "fan" siya ni Ingram kaya naman pinaghandaan talaga niya ang nakatakda sanang panayam.

Ani Boy, "Yes, we did prepare for that interview.

"Masakit man because I was a fan of James Ingram.

"Sabi ko nga kanina bago mag-umpisa, I'd rather not do an interview with someone who's not happy to do the interview.

"Pero ganoon talaga ang moods ng mga artista.

"Pero I feel for the promoters, they were very apologetic.

"Kami naman, sabi namin, 'Mabubutas ang aming palabas.'

"Pero it really happens.

"But I have so much respect for the guy as a musician."
