Lorde Cancels Israel Concert
- 6 years ago
On Christmas weekend, Grammy singer Lorde on Christmas weekend cancelled a performance in Israel scheduled for next summer after appeals by pro-Palestinian activists. In a statement Lorde said "the right decision at this time" was to cancel her June 2018 concert in Tel Aviv, which was announced earlier this month. Lorde joins artists including Roger Waters, Lauryn Hill and Elvis Costello in boycotting Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians.
