TEL AVIV – Grammy-award winning musician Pharrell Williams cancelled his July 21 debut performance in Israel amid some speculation that the singer may have succumbed to pressure from the boycott Israel movement.
The show’s local promoters released a statement with the “Happy” singer’s apologies, saying that he was forced to withdraw from the Rishon Lezion gig due to “scheduling conflicts.”
However, pro-Palestinian site Electronic Intifada surmised that the 11-time Grammy award winner may have heeded what they called “sustained pressure” by proponents of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement to cancel the concert.
