New Delhi, Sep 01 (ANI): Singer Lana Del Rey pulled out of Israel’s Meteor festival after receiving backlash. She believes in treating her fans equally and hence made this decision. She was expected to perform at the Tel Aviv event on September 07. She took to social media to confirm the news with a self written note. This comes after her fans in Palestine demanded her to perform for them too, as per The Hollywood Reporter. She tweeted that it is important for her to “perform in both Palestine and Israel” and to treat her “fans equally”, hence justifying cancelation of her tour. She stated that she couldn’t fix up simultaneous performances in Palestine and Israel, which was one of the main reasons for her backing out. She, according to reports, was already paid a fee of 700,000 USD for her performance. It would have been Del Rey’s first appearance in Israel since 2014, had she not cancelled her tour. She had cancelled her tour to the country in 2014 as well, owing to similar reasons.
