Robbie Williams Concert in Istanbul on October 7th Cancelled - Robbie Williams' Istanbul Concert Cancelled Amid Online Protests
Robbie Williams' upcoming concert in Istanbul has been cancelled due to online protests. The event, scheduled for October 7th, was called off by the Istanbul Governor's Office citing public safety concerns.
The cancellation follows days of online protests by Turkish pro-Gaza NGOs and social media users. They accused Williams of being 'Zionist' due to his family's Jewish heritage and his previous performances in Israel. Despite the accusations, Williams has not made any direct statement regarding the Gaza conflict.
The city administration decided to cancel the event in the interest of public safety, following the intense online protests and calls for cancellation from pro-Palestinian organizations.
Robbie Williams, married to Jewish American actress Ayda Field, has performed in Israel twice before. However, he has not made any public statements regarding the Gaza conflict or the cancellation of his Istanbul concert. The concert's cancellation has been met with mixed reactions, with some supporting the decision due to safety concerns, while others express disappointment.
