Costello Cancels Concert in Israel




Gosh this is a tough one! Elvis Costello has pulled out of two concerts at Israel due to concerns over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He said, quote: "Having your name added to a concert schedule may be interpreted as a political act." adding that: his decision was "a matter of instinct and conscience" and "too grave and complex" to be addressed at a concert.

So basically, he said nothing to direct. Maybe words were not a neccesity, where injustice is so obvious.
