Rock legend Eric Burdon cancels Israel show following threats

[Mosby]

British rock legend Eric Burdon has canceled a scheduled August 1 appearance of Eric Burdon and The Animals in Israel after receiving threats, his management announced Tuesday.

“We’ve been receiving mounting pressure, including numerous threatening emails, daily.

The last thing I intend do is put Eric in jeopardy,” said a statement released by Burdon’s management. Burdon, 71, and his reconstituted Animals were scheduled to appear at the Zappa Shoni Amphitheater on a bill with 1980s local favorites Tislam.

This is the future of the BDS movement, threats of violence.

Hey whatever works right?

What's annoying about the article is that it doesn't say who is threatening him, and what the character of the threats are....
