Ardent fans of songstress Lana Del Rey will remember that she was supposed to play her first-ever gig in Israel at Exhibition Ground in Tel Aviv on August 20. However, in a sudden move it has been announced that the show has been cancelled.
At the end of the day, it’s unfortunately no surprise whatsoever. With the continued violence along the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestine, it is in an artist’s best interest not to be risking their lives for a simple performance. Luckily for her fans, their tickets will remain valid for a reorganized show to be announced at a later date.
Del Rey joins CeeLo Green and Megadeth in the growing list of artists who have cancelled their shows due to the dangers rising each day in this Israel-Palestine war. Hopefully, sooner than later, some sort of resolve will be found, though in this current time it sure doesn’t seem like it.
