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.

His upcoming trip to Israel is Anka’s fifth since first performing here in November 2009.
