Neil Young Cancels a Concert in Israel

The New York Times reports:
Neil Young has canceled a concert scheduled for Tel Aviv this week because of hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The concert, with Mr. Young’s band Crazy Horse, was scheduled for Thursday at Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv.

“It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we must cancel our one and only Israeli concert due to tensions which have rendered the event unsafe at this time,” a spokesman said in a statement on Sunday by Mr. Young’s label, Warner Brothers.
