In the next two days I will play my last 2 shows in your country. At least in a very long while.
I have now had three 2024 shows cancelled because of my support for

I no longer wish to be “on the defensive” arguing for my right of speech and thought, the problem is not me, it is your country’s one-sided policies and support for an apartheid state and it’s barbarian military apparatus.

On a metaphysical level, the Palestinian cause is about where we stand as a species, it’s about our humanity. Our inability to redeem ourselves is inflicting long lasting damage to the very fabric that makes us who we are
