Bryan Adams was forced to cancel his shows in Israel because of security issues. The gigs aiming to promote peace in the Middle East, were to be held in Tel Aviv and Jericho on October 18. But security concerns led to the cancellation of gig in Jericho last week that was followed by the cancellation of the Tel Aviv show on Sunday. Concert organizers said that some extremist ideologists had threatened the participants in Jericho, and that they felt it was their responsibility not to play with their lives.
