Glee guest star Charice, who has been touring in Singapore with hit-making producer David Foster, has been forced to pull out of the upcoming concerts because of the death of her father.

The father of Filipino pop singer and Glee star Charice was stabbed to death with an ice pick in a drunken street fight, police said today, with the singer cancelling an overseas tour to be with her family in the wake of the attack.

Construction worker Ricky Pempengco, 39, was stabbed repeatedly late yesterday after an altercation with another drinker in a street in San Pedro, an agricultural town south of Manila, police said.

“They bumped into each other and from there, they got into a fight,” said local police chief Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz.

Cruz later named the suspect as Angel Capili and said a manhunt had been launched to find him.

The Philippines National Police, local government, and the mayor of San Pedro town offered a 100,000 Filipino peso ($2347) reward for anyone who could give information that led to the arrest of Capili, Cruz told Filipino radio station DZMM.
