Popular Jewish reggae singer Matisyahu announced he had another concert cancelled as the US Palestinian Community Network is touting a «victory» on social media.
A pro-Palestinian group is claiming victory over the cancelation of popular Jewish musician Matisyahu’s concert in Chicago.
Matisyahu took to social media on Friday to announce his sold-out show that was supposed to be held at the House of Blues Chicago that night was canceled «due to the threat of protests.» The Live Nation ticket event page confirmed the cancelation.
«While the true details surrounding remain opaque, and while the responsible parties all point fingers at one another over the decision; I can assure you there have been no threats of violence received by our security team who have been vigilant in knowing what is happening in each city,» Matisyahu wrote.
Matisyahu said the money refunded by the House of Blues Chicago will be donated to Bring Them Home Now for the families of hostages in Gaza in honor of International Women’s Day for the women and girls who remain captive, as well as Israel’s United Hatzalah emergency medical organization.
«While my fans and I are deeply hurt by this, please know we will not cower to these bullies and the pressure they exert,» Matisyahu wrote.
