At 7.30 p.m. on Sunday, June 26, most guests at the Richard Marx Live in Sri Lanka show were still milling around the entrance.

Marx is an American adult contemporary and pop/rock singer, songwriter, musician and record producer who has sold over 30 million records. He had a stream of hits over the 80s and the 90s including “Right Here Waiting”, “Endless Summer Nights”, “Now and Forever” and “Hazard”, all of which he performed during the show. Marx is the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart; he also penned and produced hit singles for other performers including “This I promise You” for NSYNC and “Dance With My Father” for Luther Vandross.
