Israeli media reports Lorde axing show

Auckland: Kiwi singer Lorde has bowed to backlash from some fans and cancelled her concert in Israel, according to a local media report.

It comes after two New Zealand fans wrote an open letter on website The Spinoff, calling on the 21-year-old songstress to cancel her show in Tel Aviv scheduled for June.

They argued it would show support for Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

“Noted! Been speaking w many people about this and considering all options. Thank u for educating me i am learning all the time too,” Lorde tweeted on Thursday night.
