In a letter published on January 19,
2012 on her Facebook page, Belgian singer Lara Fabian decided to
cancel her two concerts, scheduled on February 14-15, at the Casino du
Liban. Below are some excerpts of the letter:
I won’t
sing under the threats I’m victim of…
I don’t want to deal with Hatred …
I believe in tolerance, generosity and truth.
I LIVE and LOVE.
Those who don’t understand that, and don’t want me to come in their beautiful
country, where I already had the chance to sing once before, don't have to
worry.
I won’t come and disturb your quietness with my physical presence,
But I will be there my way.
On an evening of Valentine’s Day, love songs and music will alleviate
everyone's heart and soul.
I will give a unique show, created for the occasion; it will be my contribution
for peace…
I will broadcast it for free, on the evening my show in Beirut should have
taken place.
I
am writing you this letter of love, because even if I’m forced to do it from
afar, I will sing for YOU my Lebanese friends.
Fabian canceled her concerts because of
the boycott call that the Campaign for the Boycott of Israel issued on January
17, 2012.
