Speaking to Reuters, singer Chris de Burgh said about his concert plans in Iran on Wednesday in the Islamic Republic sprang purely from a desire to sing for ordinary people.

In his first visit to the Islamic state, De Burgh who has loyal fans in the country expressed hope that the Iranian authorities would give him and a local pop band called Arian the permission to hold concerts late this year, informs Reuters.

"This has been a dream of mine since I was a little boy (to visit Iran)... I am here to see and play for people," de Burgh said at a press conference in Tehran.

"We are not politically naive ... I am not here for any political reasons. I am a humanist," he added.

"I want to play a concert here. That is all I have to say and that is why I am here," he said.

When asked about Iranian authorities, de Burgh said: "I don't get the impression of a big, powerful state body crushing people. There appears to be freedom."

The legend of music Chris will appear this concert to prove his desire to be near the ordinary people.
