Bryan Adams Kept From Bringing Peace To The Middle East

(antiMusic) There is no better way to solve the world's problems then hosting a concert. Look at the successes of past like the Concert for Life which cured AIDS and Live 8 which ended third-world debt. Let's not forget Al Gore who ended global warming and even won a nifty prize with his cleverly named Live Earth concerts. But poor Bryan Adams has been robbed of his opportunity to finally settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some pesky extremists caused the cancellation of Adams' peace concert and we doubt they did it all for love. Here is the Contact Music report: BRYAN ADAMS has been forced to scrap his peace concert in Israel following a number of security alerts.

The concerts, calling for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, were to be held simultaneously in Tel Aviv and the West Bank town of Jericho on 18 October (07). But security scares led to the Jericho gig being called off last week (ends12Oct07), followed by the cancellation of the Tel Aviv concert on Sunday (14Oct07).

Organiser Daniel Lubetzky says, "Extremist ideologists have threatened our participants in Jericho, and we felt it is our responsibility not to play with their lives." [He then added] "Our mission is not to entertain. It is to mobilize moderate voices. If we have to postpone, we have to postpone." - more on this story
