Lara Fabian cancels Lebanon tour

Singer Lara Fabian cancelled her February concerts to Lebanon Thursday after anti Israeli campaigners rallied against the artists visit.

There have been other similar incidents where artists have called off their visits to Lebanon over links to or showing sympathy with the Jewish state. In 2009 for example French stand up comedian Gad Elmaleh canceled his three day tour to Lebanon.

In her 'letter of love,' Fabian, also said that music alone could not alleviate hatred and cultural and religious barriers, adding that she did not want to deal with hatred.

'I write you this letter of love, because even if Im forced to do it from a far, I will sing for YOU my Lebanese friends, she said.
