Lara Scandar, one of the very remembered graduates of season6, has addressed fans on her own Facebook page with the following; “I hope you can all make it on the 3rd of Feb. at Virgin, City Stars starting 4pm. I’ll be releasing and signing my CD- My new single ‘ Mission Is You’. See you there.” Today, Lara is expected to show up at Virgin stores, where the place is already filled with posters of her promotional photo shoot, promising earlier to sign the CD herself.
