Canadian crooner Paul Anka has confirmed his two rescheduled summer concerts for October 17 and 18 at Tel Aviv’s Mann Auditorium.
The concerts, part of Anka’s current “Love Never Felt So Good” tour, celebrating his recently published autobiography, “My Way,” and “Duets,” his new album, were supposed to take place on July 24 and 26.
The shows were postponed due to Operation Protective Edge.
Before postponing the Tel Aviv performances, Anka’s fans posted messages on Facebook, warning him to “be on the lookout for the bad guys,” and urging him to “COME HOME TO LEBANON.”
The 73-year-old Anka, who is of Syrian descent, first began singing in his childhood church, the Antiochian Orthodox Church, in Ottowa, Canada.

Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
