Gwen Stefani said she was “not a bad girl” and would dress modestly for her Malaysian concert, hoping to placate Islamic critics who claim she could corrupt the Muslim-majority country’s youth, it was reported.

Singer Gwen Stefani has agreed to tone down her dance moves and scrap revealing costumes when she performs in Malaysia this month, after complaints from Muslim students.

The Malaysian leg of Gwen Stefani's tour has been thrown into doubt after a Muslim student mounted a campaign to have the star banned from performing in the country.
