gold jewellery from Tanishq's store there, but she now has the option to buy it closer home, as the Titan co-owned chain has opened an outlet at Pollachi. Tanishq's store at Pollachi, about 40 km south of Coimbatore city and opened in April last year, shows how established jewellery chains are going closer to consumers in small towns who are increasingly opting for branded jewellery with latest designs and proper hallmark unique identification numbers, which ensure purity of gold. For organised retailers like Tanishq, Malabar Gold & Diamonds and PNG Jewellers, setting up shop in small towns help tap into this growing demand at a lower cost than expanding in big cities, as real estate comes much cheaper. As much as 70% of Tanishq's 436 stores are outside large cities — 38% in places with 200,000-plus population and 32% in smaller towns — with the remaining 30% in metros and mini-metros, chief executive Ajoy Chawla said.

Aerosmith has postponed their 2023 tour to the following year due to a severe vocal injury sustained by Steven Tyler. Initially diagnosed as «bleeding vocal cords,» Tyler's condition has now been revealed to be more critical than initially thought. In a statement released on social media, the band disclosed that Tyler fractured his larynx, necessitating ongoing medical attention. Although he is receiving top-notch care, the nature of the fracture requires patience. Following Tyler's vocal injury, six tour dates were rescheduled to 2024, starting in January and concluding in late February. These concerts were originally planned for Detroit, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Raleigh and Cleveland. The band's earlier expectation of returning by October 11 has been dashed. The band has indicated that new dates will be announced once more information becomes available. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the rescheduled concerts, and refunds will be offered to those unable to attend the yet-to-be-announced new dates. Tyler also shared a personal message, expressing his heartbreak at not being able to perform with Aerosmith and the Black Crowes, but promising a swift return to the stage. Similarly, Bruce Springsteen has had to postpone all of his September shows due to struggles with peptic ulcer disease. His representatives stated that Springsteen is undergoing treatment and that the tour dates, originally set to conclude in mid-December, are being postponed out of an abundance of caution. Currently, the only concerts on Springsteen's schedule are a series of rescheduled shows in Philadelphia next August.
