DAVID DRAIMAN Addresses DISTURBED's Netherlands Show Cancellation
Disturbed's show in the Netherlands was cancelled after vocalist David Draiman posted a photo of himself signing an artillery shell for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to launch into Gaza.
The image sparked backlash, especially after a heated online argument between Draiman and Irish pro-Palestinian rap collective Kneecap. Draiman was also booed at Black Sabbath's farewell show in Birmingham.
We in Disturbed are all about unity
Disturbed issued a statement saying they love everyone, which contrasts with Draiman's actions. The cancellation of their show at the Vorst Nationaal on October 15 followed the controversy.
