Singer Cee-Lo Green is the latest celebrity to cancel his show in Israel, due to ongoing violence.
The former judge on "The Voice" was set to perform at Independence Park in Jerusalem on August 19, however Carmi D. Wurtman, Israel club promoter, announced that no scheduled shows would be taking place, but he hopes to reschedule the shows for the late fall.
"The artist and his crew really wanted to come, but unfortunately, we were the ones who had to postpone it because this is not the right time to advertise and push a concert and also because Israel Defense Forces' regional Home Front Command allows gathering of up to a thousand people only," Wurtman said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Metal band, Megadeth, announced Monday that they will be cancelling their performance at Tel Aviv's convention center on Wednesday.
"Due to an inability to confirm the guaranteed passage of the band and their gear into Tel Aviv in time for the show, the upcoming Megadeth concert, scheduled for Wednesday, August 6, 2014, has been cancelled," the band wrote on their website. "The band was looking forward to this concert and is disappointed they will not be able to put on the show for their fans, but expects to return to Tel Aviv on their next international tour."
Last month, the Backstreet boys cancelled their first-ever performance at the Ra'anana Amphitheater near Tel Aviv on July 29, 30 and 31 - also in response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a statement on the band's website, they reassured fans that the show will be rescheduled.
Other artists that have announced the cancellation or rescheduling of shows in Israel include Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
