So basically what you are saying is, the organizers have no right to 
organize the event as they please. I think "that" would be imposing 
one's view on another.
I agree that the approach of the organizer to cancel the singer at the 
last minute was terribly wrong and I'm sure insulting. But however 
inappropriate, it still remains the planner's right to choose who 
performs.
