HEADLINE: Death threats for latin singing star
CAPTION: The business manager of Latin pop singer Juanes said the "Peace Without Borders" concert will go on as planned in Havana despite threatening messages the singer received recently on his Twitter account. (Aug. 21)
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
Latin singing star Juanes (Wahn-Ess) says he fears for his safety as well as his family. [Notes:broll og jauness]
That's according to a police report he filed in Key Biscayne, Florida, where he lives. [Notes:video of police report from winton]
And it's all over a concert he has planned for next month.
It's in Cuba -- and that has led to threatening messages on Juanes' Twitter account.
He says one message read "I hate what you are saying but you will die for defending your right to say it."
Some Cuban-Americans in Miami have criticized the event, saying that it endorses the Communist-led government of Fidel and Raul Castro.

This record shop manager says he's opposed to the Havana concert but thinks some Cuban extremists are overreacting.
Police in Key Biscayne, Florida are providing the pop-star with extra security here at the singer's home....

[Notes:"I reached out to Juanes' manager. Spoke with him briefly about the situation, and from that moment on realized we had something going on here.]
Juanes -- a 17-time Latin Grammy winner, who is from Colombia, is known for his social activism.
Event promoters insist the Havana concert will have no ideological overtones.
Juanes admits he considered canceling the show -- but his spokesman says the show will go on.
