Eric Burdon, the former lead singer in the British band The Animals, who last week canceled his performance in Israel citing political pressure, has had a change of heart.
Burdon landed in Israel on Monday evening ahead of his planned performance with Israeli rock band T-Slam at the Shuni Amphitheater in Binyamina.
In a statement released last Tuesday, Burdon's personal assistant said, "We've been subjected to mounting pressure, including numerous threatening emails, daily. The last thing I intend to do is put Eric in jeopardy."
Earlier in July, South Korean rapper Park Jae-sang, better known by his stage name Psy, tweeted that he would not perform in Israel despite reports of a planned concert.
"There are false rumors of my appearance in Israel in July," he wrote on Twitter. "I will not be there but look forward to seeing all my fans in Israel soon. shalom."
