Fans of Bruno Mars were dismayed to learn that his concert in Tel Aviv, scheduled for Saturday, October 7th, has been cancelled. The musician had earlier performed at a sold-out event on Wednesday, October 5th, and shared a picture of the crowd to social media.
The cancellation was announced by Live Nation Israel on Instagram, who are promoting the concert. They added that all ticket holders for the concert will automatically receive refunds. The statement said: “Dear customers, the performance of Bruno Mars, which was planned to take place tonight, is cancelled. All concert ticket purchasers will receive an automatic refund to the credit card with which the purchase was made.”
The cancellation comes as a result of an attack on Israel by Palestinian militants on Saturday morning. Gunmen from the Islamist group Hamas infiltrated the Gaza Strip and fired thousands of rockets and sent in dozens of troops. The elusive leader of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammed Deif, announced the beginning of what he called ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Storm’.
The UK has unequivocally condemned the horrific attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly wrote on social media: “The UK will always support Israel’s right to defend itself.”
Israel has blockaded Gaza since Islamic militant group Hamas gained control of the territory in 2007 and the two have fought wars ever since.
At this time, Bruno Mars has yet to address the situation and his reps have not yet responded to The Agency’s request for comment. Fans of the artist are hoping for a swift resolution to the conflict and are eagerly awaiting Bruno Mars’ return to Tel Aviv.
