American Idol winner Ruben Studdard’s concert on Oct. 13 to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children Transportation Fund has been postponed indefinitely, officials said Friday.

Although ticket sales have been slow, Benny Eggler, recorder for the Hamasa Shriners and building manager of the Temple Theatre, said the postponement was “due to scheduling conflicts.”

Eggler said he hopes another date for Studdard can be worked out in the future. Eggler said plans will still be in place for the concert to be a benefit for the Shriners who attended to the needs of 123,385 patients in 22 hospitals throughout North America last year.

Locally Hamasa Shriners help more than 500 children in 32 counties in East Mississippi who go to Shriners Children’s Hospital in Shreveport, La., Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Galveston, Texas.

Eggler said the theatre will refund money for all tickets purchased at its box office.

Studdard, a native of Birmingham, Ala., rose to success after winning Fox’s talent competition “American Idol” in 2003. He has released two albums under the label J Records and plans to release his third album titled “The Return” on Oct. 17.
